Is there really anyone who still thinks RE5 is rascist?

When I first heard that Resident Evil 5 is coming out, I wasn't to excited, since I knew it would take YEARS for it to actually come out. But only a week or so after I heard this (it could've even been the next day actually), people would come up to me and say, "Haven't you heard? Some people are calling Resident Evil 5 rascist!" And I would think, "That's probably just a shallow story from a group of a couple people, nothing to worry about." When I saw YouTube videos and blogs saying the same message, "RE5 isn't rascist, you dumb***es!" I would just watch them come by, one after another, and everyone who responded to the videos/blogs would agree with with them. I would never see a single person actually say that the game is rascist, all I hear is storys about them saying so.

I do not need anyone actually giving me web links to pages showing me people who do think the game is against black people. All I want to know is if there is actually someone who is reading this who does think the game is rascist. Thank you, and no, I do not believe the game is rascist...

"I dunno. Let's poke it a few more times and BEAT it, just to be sure!"

Why wasn't RE4 deemed racist?Timedbest

Because the doodz you were killing (In their base) weren't from a minority.

I beleive some video game journo N'Gai something said it had "racist overtones" or the imagery made him unconfortable or something.

Hang on, Google to the rescue:

yes, it clearly is a racist game, i hope the game fails /scarcasm

no, i don't see whites or mexican/hispanic spanish people saying resident evil, resident evil 4 being racist game.

problem is that afericans get to angry at things like this. i don't see anyone calling a game racist.

I've only seen a few trailers for this game so it is hard to say whether it is racist. I would guess not seeing as it would be a very stuupid move on Capcom's part. I think what people are getting mixed up is racism and general stereotyping. It's probably a bit too close to the bone when you think of western view of Voodoo (but doesn't that originate in Haiti?)

As games are the newest form of art I think it does need to be careful as to how it adopts stereotypes (does anyone remember that black character from one of the late street fighter 2's who threw basketballs as his projectile attack) but I don't think RE5 is doing anything racist. Is COD4 racist?
