The protagonist is white. If it was in Europe with a black protagonist it would be A-ok.

It's not. People just like to take things and distort it and be all extreme. Your not going to find a white person in the slums of Africa. (No offense intended.)

Exactly. If the protagonist wasn't white, it wouldn't be considered racist. But he's white, so it can, and is.

The woman that complained it was racist is more racist towards her own race then the majority of the population is.

When I saw it I thought, "Gee, that game looks sweet, I'm gonna kill zombies!!!" not, "Omg, look at all of the black people!"

I doubt anyone would have figured it was racist if they know what Resident Evil is, and they know that it takes place in Africa. By the way, she also stated that the zombies look like they are infected with the AIDS virus or that zombieness is what AIDS would look like in a video game.

It would be racist not to call it racist. You see, if any black isn't being discriminated against nowadays, it is racist as he's being excluded.

Watch the trailer; it's actually pretty funny. There are no zombies, like prior RE game- only black people, and the one white guy in the game shoving a shotgun in their faces. I'm sure it wasn't intended to be taken that way, but it's still pretty damn funny. I first noticed when Somethingawful called it out in a segment called "Oops, we're racist."

A whitey shooting black dudes in Africa. A whitey shooting spanish dudes in Spain. A whitey shooting white dudes in the United States. The concept is so damn refreshing

Well actually, it would kind of even out (IMO) if Chris had a black companion(with a cool african accent, which showed up at multiple points in the storyline to help chris out (kind of like luis).. Thoughts?

That was what I was thinking. There could even be a group of survivors that did not get infected when the others did.

true. not only europeans, the rest of the world can travel to almost anywhere they want. not to iraq right now, though.

and you know what, i dont see samoans in this game, no chinese, indians or whatnot. and i dont hear any of these people complain. it's just thatsome of the black people in america get too sensitive for their own good.

Its people trying to get free money. They find the subject and say they were offended, if they get enough people to share their thoughts they will get a lawyer, go to court and finally..........they repeat the cycle and the world blames yet another of being a racist while the defendant goes for more money.
