    Resident Evil 5 is racist?

    Pretty sure most people here have heard of this, but in case you haven't heard it...

      Re: Resident Evil 5 is racist?

      This game was obviously going to bring the noise when it was revealed that the zombies to be killed in this game was Africans. To make it worse, it's a white person doing the killing. I really don't care too much about stuff like this even though I'm Black, but this just doesn't bode well with me. I'm not going to like the fact that I'm killing Africans, infected or not.

          Who the hell cares. Jesus, its a god damn game. They're zombies. I don't think anybody would be crying if this took place in japan and you were killing savage Asian zombies >_>

              ohh and when they were killing hispanic people it didn't matter? (well i really loved that they talk in spanish is a little handicap sometimes)

              i really don't care who am i killing, because what i'm killing is not real and it doesn't give an extra-message, is normal, that if the guy has a mission in africa he has to kill infected africans

                      The creators of RE5 weren't trying to show hatred for any race in creating this game, they were simply displaying the racial majority of the setting.

                          What the underlying argument here is:

                          It's OK to kill white people! Just don't hurt black people!

                          Wait what.

                          What matters most:

                          THEY'RE ZOMBIES. WHO CARES WHAT THEY WERE BEFORE THEY DIED. NOW THEY ARE ZOMBIES. SHOOT 'EM IN THE HEAD! GRAB THE SHOTGUN!

                              Why do people care so much about black peoples 'needs?' Why do they always have to have the first black secretary, black iceman, black pizzaman, black principal, black teacher, etc. Are black people special or something?
                              No matter how many times the colors of the seasons change,
                              these feelings will never wither, swaying like a flower
                              If this is just a dream, then let it be a dream. I don't care.
                              My heart, filled with loving radiance
                              Is forever thinking of you.

                              These words that we play are a pleasant melody
                              All I want is to have you by my side,
                              so that I won't lose my smiling eyes
                              even on a night when we can't see the twinkling of the stars.

You could call me a hopeless romantic, I guess.

                                          the Resident Evil development team is Japanese.
                                          There you go, I don't think they are trying to make whites look like haters.

                                              Because the white people enslaved them for a hundred years or so. But I think they're starting to get a little "need" happy now.

                                              What about us greeks? We were enslaved for about 400 years by the Turks and we don't get any special "needs".

                                                      Most of my thoughts have already been said but i also state, why does it matter? I mean people are people. Some people are just a tad bit more chocolate than others. I do have to agree with tonberry. Im black and i know that are people were enslaved for however many years but thats over. Im not asking everyone to forget but it aggravates me so much when people banter about "omg this is the first black ____" But back to subject why dont they just make the zombies good old green.
