NY Times: Resident Evil 5 Not Racist

For god sake, who started this resident evil5 is racist crap! who ever did, get a sodding life and stop bitching, im sick and tired of political correctness, its simple accept each other for who they are!. Im from England, and this country is too busy trying to kiss everyones backsides for the sake of oversea relations, to take care of there own people. just last week our soliders were welcomed back home from the war in afgan. and they did a public march. Only to have muslim extremist cursing them and theatening them. What the hell! and the authorities have done nothing about it. If I went to there country and acted in the same manor I would have been stoned to death. One message to all those extremists out there. England is a Christian country. your welcome to live and commute in our country, And show us the respect we give to you. but if you don't like our religion and politic stature, Then f*+k off back to your own  country!, if you dont accept our beliefs and way of life, then why should we accept yours!!!!!!

now to point out why resident 5 evil 5 is not racist, the game does not dislpay racism, because, 1 racism is when 1 human discrimanates against another for there race, ie african french german whatever, 2 the enemies in resident evil 5 that you fight whislt playing the game are infected with a virus that mutates them, so they are not in actual fact human anymore, so how is it that the game is racist then? if the enemies are not even human!!!!

You know what?

I think it's racist.

In fact, I think the only debate is "is it a little racist - or a lot racist?"

Put it this way:

White Zombies = shambling shells of their former selves, rotting brainless husks.

Black Zombies = able to speak, be organised, ride motorcycles, basically no different from how regular Africans have been portrayed in NA media.

What this says to me is that Africans have no need to be monsterized to be viable targets to kill.  Apparently they're plenty scary already.

Its refreshing to see mainstream publications with sense. Any way for the record:

Naturally if a zombie outbreak occured in Africa the majority of the zombies would be black. Simple as that.

"All that said, Resident Evil 5 could not possibly have been made in the United States. Racial sensitivities and prevailing political correctness would have had American game executives squirming in their Aeron chairs the minute they read a budget proposal for a game featuring African zombies.

Not so in Japan, apparently..."

Good. Political correctness is messing up our country. You can say or do anything without some idiots honking "racist" at you. The fact is that good, evil, stupidity, and even zombification knows no single race. We're all human for better or worse.

Oh thank goodness, somebody with a common sense.

All people who said this game was racist calling Seth Schiesel a KKK member or a Oreo cookie in 3...2...1

"Let’s get this out of the way: Resident Evil 5 is not a racist game"

That's what we've been telling these dickweeds, and hypocrites.  But no, they still stick with the "it's racist" shit.

"For at least a year some black journalists have been wringing their hands about whether the game... inflames racist stereotypes because it is set in Africa. The answer is no... Resident Evil 5 exposes the perhaps uncomfortable truth that blacks and Arabs can become zombies too, just like anyone else... The point of the story is that the indigenous people have become the innocent victims of evil white people."
 

That's true.  A virus that turns you into a zombie does not focus on ethnicity, they turn you into a zombie because you are a living organism not because of what race you are.
