So what, any race killing Blacks is racist and the other way around is okay? That just doesn't make any sense. Plus, the game takes place in Africa. You're bound to encounter Africans no matter what.

If something is supposed to be secret, the norm says that:
a.)Somebody is making the dangerous experiments in a 3rd world country.
b.)The US goverment is behind it, or has something to do with it.

There's not really any racism there... maybe you could say it's a huge inflated ego sometimes... but then you'd be denying the fact that the previous four installments slaugthered peacefull small 1st world cities.

The thing that she's missing is that they aren't depicting black people as inhuman savages: they're depicting zombies as inhuman savages. They just happen to be African zombies.

yeah, so the first FOUR games where you kill white zombies is okay. but now a game comes out and kills black zombies is not okay. this is all based off the trailer to. maybe in the trailer you come up to a tv repair shop where black zombies are stealing tvs, then they realize they're zombies, not black people anymore, so they come after you for your brains.

Yeah, exactly. She's pulling out the racist card without even knowing the game series that well.

It's funny that she's being called a racist in the comments on her article.

It's true, too. These so called black victims of racism don't want it gone. They want to keep it alive, so that they'll always have something to complain about, a reason for people to notice them. They call out racism everywhere, even when there's none to be found. They are racists.

the funny thing is that you might see it as finally achieving equal treatment. There aren't as many black people in games supposedly, so this is giving them representation!

black people can be zombies just as much as white people.

honestly I'm suprised it took Resident Evil this long to get to Africa what with the connection to the Ebola virus and all, I mean it was bound to happen sooner or later.

people need to get over themselves.

Except ebola makes you empty yourself through most of your bodily orifices instead of turning you into a zombie.
Wonder which is best...

Shit, you're right, black people invented zombies! Negroid zombies make much more sense.
