If you noticed all the characters that you have to kill in RE5 are black, do you think RE5 will be slammed for racism near release?

What the **** do you expect? It's Africa. Should there be a diverse culture there? Should all the blacks be middle class college graduates? Should there be gay zombies?

People really need to get their head out of their asses. Politically correct persons are real idiots.

If it does....that would be just sad.

Here's the first comment:

HOW COME ALL THE ZOMBIES ARE BLACK?!?!

After they get changed and turned to another race before the games release:

HOW COME THERE ARE NEVER ANY "BLACK" ZOMBIES??!?!

Sometimes you just can't win.

Only an idiot would think it's a rascist game. Seriously, that sounds harsh but what is remotely rascist about it? Are you not allowed to kill black people in video games now? Plenty of white people die in video games, in fact it's mostly white people, where's the anti-rascism parades there? Should Africans be replaced with white stunt doubles in movies set in Africa too? This political correctness is just getting out of hand now.

Even more reason for there to be lots of African Americans. Haiti was a place with lots of slave labor and plantations back a long time ago. The population is predominately African American. Being politically correct huts my fingers.

Well Resident Evil 4 must be racist towards Spanish people.

Iam sure someone will bring it up, but anyone with half a brain cell will know that its not.

In America when Lewis Hamilton won the Indy open race, the news in America was him being the first black guy to win the grand prix. The Canadian guys broadcasting the actual race and newspapers overseas didn't give that a peep of attention. America is way too race-conscious and sensitive about race. It's far-fetched there will be anything more than a couple threads in a forum, But it's not impossible. Who knows what goes on in Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson's heads.

It's called the right type of population for the region. I would say the opposite also exist, if they were all white and in Africa the African Americans could say it is not correct and they are portraying it in a racist way. The fact is Black Hawk Down didn't seem to get any bad lashes for it. I don't see RE5 getting one either.

You know what... if someone does.. they have more issues than the game. Its set in AFRICA. Most of the people there happen to be black. they should know that. The "villagers" from "Africa" are black... Its common sense.

Did anyone say RE4 was rasist because all the villagers were white.. NO

Correction, Black Hawk Down was a movie based off a real world story. There was some re-modelling to it, as always done by hollywood. Just like to point that out. ;)

Watch the South park episode with hate crimes. This reminds me of that.

Saying that killing white people is ok, but killing black people is not ok,is racism. It singles black people out. If you wanted to be equal and non-racist than you will not complain about the game.

I mean the color of the skin should not matter right? Why are you complaining about it then?

Not really. In the trailer you can see not all of them turn into semi-zombies, and I'm betting he'll get an African ally in the game.

Agreed in re4 you killed spanish people and in other games you only kill white people so what is so different about this game? You kill people infected with a zombie virus skin color shouldn't make a difference.

Um, yeah...about that...uh...you do know that Resident Evil 4 was slightly censored in Japan (beheading by chainsaw was replaced by chainsaw in the face, among other things) and was heavily censored in Germany for crazy reasons right?

Now, Resident Evil 5, I doubt it'll be censored in North America.

this is a sensitive issue because Africa has been the place of many of the world's worst racially motivated massaceres. minorities were murdered with hand tools, it just kind of reminds me, personally, of all the suffering that's happend there.
