Resident Evil 5... Racist?

Re: Resident Evil 5... Racist?

I will personally be writing in my blog how racist this trailer really is....

-queue up psa music-

How many times has the media shown and made anti-zombie films and games. The media is forcing anti-zombie stereotypes on our young children. Often shown as mindless groups of evil brain eating, idiotic half rotting corpses, in games as the Resident Evil series, Zombies are really a small minority group of caring loving families like you or me. Please help me take a stand and show how loving zombies can really be, they may having cold rotting flesh on the outside but they are warm loving people on the inside...

I have that graphic but i was too lazy to get my url lol >.>

And I am going to buy this game the day it comes out, I am not even a huge RE fan enjoy the game but its not near the top of my lists, but i will be buying it to show that I support equality to kill all zombies the same not judged on the color of their pixilated rotting flesh, but for the factor of shooting shit not matter what race it was in the game before its death is just plain fun.

True that ... it's just a matter of time before Jack Thompson starts touting his stupid lawsuits on the basis of racism and not just sex and violence. Just one more thing for him to bitch about.

Too true...

And that idiot blog only further shows how ridiculous it is that it's okay for blacks to be racist against whites, but not the other way around.

It happens all the time with Paula Zahn (sp?) on CNN. Every time someone brings up that point (a lot of times it's actually a black person) everyone else shuts him or her up. It's a very good point and yet people keep dodging it. Racism isn't cool regardless of which side you're on.


Speaking of which, I wonder if this is going to hit any news programs - _ -


The game is not Racist. It just happens to be set in Africa. There's going to be a lot of black people. Quit bitching about it, drop your hypocritical double-standard and move the fuck on. Idiots like this blogger only make the problem worse.

The depiction of Africa in fiction is racist. They are not human and shouldn't be portrayed as humans. If they have any flaws or evils as humans tend to do, it's a racist piece of fiction. Africa doesn't have anything bad about it, this is propaganda.

Re: Resident Evil 5... Racist?

I like my cat more than my dog.

My dog is a mix of white, brown, and black.

My cat is just white. Well, kind of a murky white gray thing.

Am I racist?


P.S. - I like the cat more, but I still want to toss both of them out of a window. While in a car traveling 55 MPH down the interstate. Far, far away from home.

Yes… I am more comfortable with the zombies being white. In fact, ALL zombies should be white from this day forth.

Re: Resident Evil 5... Racist?

The game was never marketed for young children or even younger teenagers. This game is specifically marketed towards the 17+ crowd. The game itself is not racist because if you remember 1-3 was mainly killing a white crowd, 4 was mainly spanish/mexicans. Now that the game is based in africa it is all the sudden racist?

The game is not racist and this is from my friends point of view who is black.

Edit: IF ANYONE thinks this game is truly racist then you are a fool. RE 4 was based on Spaniards. If that didn't offend you then why should this.

Re: Resident Evil 5... Racist?

She made another amazing comment:

I confess I don't know much about video games, gamers, etc. I don't play video games, but I occasionally play solitaire on my gf's PC. However, given the response from gamers... I think we should all be very afraid. Many of these folks seem like the type who would try to reenact scenes from Resident Evil 5. Can you say Columbine?
