It is possible for the (majority white) Payday gang members to wear a mask that is clearly based on President Obama. Take that as you will.

on the buluc's mansion heist (as an unavoidable part of progression) you will hear buluc yelling at his girlfriend. when she tries to reply to him, the tape cuts out in a way that implies violence.

The character Jimmy makes frequent reference to cocaine. Cocaine stains can be found all over his clothes, and masking up may cause him to audibly inhale a dose as well.

It's mentioned that the goats you steal in the Goat Simulator heist have drugs inside them. While it's never shown, one can imagine how the drugs are retrieved.

Not exactly squashed, but shooting a Taser in the head with a Platypus 70 sniper rifle will result in either the upper half of his head blown off, or create a giant, gaping hole where his face should be.

The Cloaker enemies are designed around this, and the Halloween events have them, both can be avoided, however, depending on difficulty and if you select Lab Rats or Safehouse Nightmare.
One can be triggered on the No Mercy heist

Speaking as someone who has this trigger, it’s safe to vote “no” even if logically this would be the case, the game doesn’t imply that any of the cops (or, sadly, any characters in general) are LGBTQIA+.

Not hate speech but there’s a conservative politician who you can do missions for and one of them involves falsifying votes for him (which creepily resembles the election fraud myth Trump generated years later to cause January 6th).
