How many of you think that RE5 is actually racist?

Q: Any drop of blood into infected area can cause contamination. This relates to racism because of the HIV/AIDs problem in African.

A: Lets see, any drop of blood, scrape, etc, etc, isn't that for all zombie movies/games?

Q: A white man killing black people.

A: Yeah, he's white, but then again, what do you expect to be killing in Africa, the Chinese?

Q: Black people shown before the infection appear to be rendered as if they already have the infection.

A: Whether you're African, Japanese, Russian, American, German, etc, etc, you know that all races have ugly people to them, and just because you put it in a game doesn't mean you're trying to spread racism.

The whole thing of racism on RE5 is a crock. As far as I saw, why didn't they go up in arms about RE4? I mean, after all, you are white, and you are killing the Spanish.

Anybody who says yes is touchy, imo. Seriously, we live in a day and age where color of skin just doesnt matter anymore.

The only reason people see this instead of RE4 as racist

is because

Blacks outnumber hispanics in the US.

Blacks endure 400 years of slavery and oppression.

And it's only racist if it's happening to your own race!!.... :roll:

The only place it would be considered racist is in America, and that's because there's a strong belief that everything color-oriented directly relates to slavery.

Nevermind that all the black people are trying to kill the white guy. Maybe that should be considered racist.

No, it's not racist. It's just common fact that africans are in africa.

what idiot voted "yes"

No, it's not racist. It's just common fact that africans are in africa.

I know. What do you expect? Japanese zombies in the middle of Africa?

What if it was the other way around?

A black man killing, a **** ton of white zombies in suburban middle white america ?

^^^ The game will never see the light of day. :P

THey are black b/c it takes place in Africa and Africans are usually black... or am I being rascist?!wolverine4262

RACIST!!! BAN HIM!!! :shock:

If you said yes, you're a idiot. I can usually respect an opinion, but that's just too moronic to actually think the devs behind RE5 are trying to bring racism into our homes. DA_B0MB

The reason people think there is more racism is that most people try to avoid it. Thats why people flip over stuff like this. It's in Africa for a reason, Chris has been in two other RE games.

People in America are afraid of their own shadow. I wrote a 10 page paper on why we should as a wholeconfront Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to get them to stop race baiting. They will have their say on this game soon....mark my words. Forget that the Japanese are making this game. They will tie it to an idea by a white man and demand it be cancelled.

Africans are usually elephantsProductofChina

I LOLed for sure. Good call.

Wow if RE5 gets cancel because of that, it'll be a damn shame.... :(

Why is everyone going Ape over this?

Did anyone see american History X....? This is nothing compared to that.

I thought everyone knew that in African villages people are black :|


And if they turn zombies, they must die.
It isn't that hard to see that there is no rasism involved.

Killing black people is totally racist, I mean its a white guy killing a bunch of black people. How racist is that! What has those years o anti-slavery changed? Nothing! This is racist! it would be okay if it were black people killing white people in the game though because white people were never slaves. You cannot be racist to white people.ProductofChina

Yes it does. The world is not that nice. But this isn't racism by a long shot.

That movie is pure ownage.

Then DeadRising must be racist because you kill white zombies, and its also sexist because there are girl zombies...

Were there any Black Zombies in Dead Rising?

I call Racism for discrimating Black zombies from that game.

Did your parents raise you to be ignorant?

I voted yes first, mainly cause I thought it would be funny.

I don't agree it's racist, but people who say it's the otherway around, that doesn't work. As long as the blacks are portrayed as the evil ones (Even though the aprasite inside of them is the evil one) it will be claled racist.

This is the one that I'm amazed is actually going around. The game isn't taking place in a freakin' Ritz hotel. Its a poor, desolate village. Should everyone be wearing a top hat and dress clothes, with prefect teeth, manicures and botox injections to clear up the wrinkles?

Thats it. From now on, no game is allowed to take place anywhere, at any time, with any sort of people of any race in them. And every game must be monochrome in case someone's feelings are hurt by certain colors.

Maybe the two Japanese tourists from Dead Rising made another bad trip? lol

Other than that, chances are practically zero.

What if it was the other way around?

A black man killing, a **** ton of white zombies in suburban middle white america ?

Actually noone will care.

I really don't think it's racist but I do think that if the sony add for the white psp got so much crap then this game should get the same amout of crap and bashing...

Taken out of Context that movie could be contructed as a Racist Film. (Same thing with RE5)

But as a whole it bears to the viewer a Powerful anti-Racism Message.

Yeah right! Either you are blind or have been hiding in a cave in the last 400 years lol!

Is the game Racist? I dont know im not the creator and none of us know why the creator made this game and the past RE games. The truth is it doesnt matter if it does not offend you but if it offends a large population than there will be a problem. Im a "gamer" and when I saw the trailer the first thing that came to my mind was bad a$$ graphic and the second was this will be a problem in the black commuity. Trust me this game will bring millions of people to go agaisnt this game not just blacks but other races. Its not the "game" as the story its the graphics it looks to real. What I never understood in the RE games is the zombies never attack each other. I mean in RE4 that was just chilling till some idiot comes along. And this will be the same thing. The "black zombies" will be chilling not killing each other or eating each other but chilling till some idiot comes along with guns.

"Funny thing is, if the game took place in Africa and just showed white folks, there'd be outrage over Capcom's fear of showing blacks in Africa or of covertly supporting apartheid." poster SinistarX on the Village Voice blog

As it is now, the outcry over this is baseless and ridiculous. And this is coming from a black man who is definately not "color blind".

Then name one game that is actually like that?

I'm going to say that RE5 is racist until they make a Zombie of Jesse Jackson.

meh im spanish and i didnt have trouble killing those spaniards in RE4.

Theyre all people to me only an Idiot would care about little things like race and skin color and other giberish
