http://gamerlimit.com/2009/02/resident-evil-is-racist/

Resident Evil 5 has had its fair share of controversy. In addition to Xbox gamers taking issue with its outdated control system, a small fraction gaming community also claims that it is racist. Thought to be racist long ago when it was first revealed that the location of the game was in Africa, angry mobs subsided for about a year with no apparent reason. Recently, Eurogamer has re-ignited the racism controversy in Resident Evil 5. Fear not readers, this is nothing new: Resident Evil has always been racist.

--------------------------------

Resident Evil hates Hispanics

---------------------------------

Every Hispanic "protaganist" found in the Resident Evil series dies a terrible death. Compound this is the fact that every enemy in Resident Evil 4 is Hispanic. When Leon Kennedy isn't busy rescuing the American president's daughter, he's supporting America's "hidden agenda". The enemies, called "Ganados" (racist) hail from Spain, but they sound stereo-typically Mexican. Is this because Capcom didn't understand the difference between the two nations, or is this the work of an even darker force? If this isn't Bush-era propaganda, I don't know what is.

--------------------------------------

Resident Evil hates animals

------------------------------------------


What did a wild pack of dogs say when Umbrella corp. injected them with a virus, turning them into rabid zombified versions of their previous selves? Dogs can't talk: but if they could, they probably wouldn't like it. These poor defenseless pooches were rounded up one day and turned into killing machines because Capcom felt like it. But Resident Evil doesn't stop at dog murder; you also must euthanize crows, snakes, worms, and crocodiles. One area of Resident Evil 3 even requires a killing spree in a local Zoo. There hasn't been this much human-on-dog violence since the un-aired Scooby-Doo episode. Even then, this is probably worse.

----------------------------------------------

Resident Evil hates Religious folk

----------------------------------------

Practice religion around the protagonists of Resident Evil? You'll probably end up being blown to bits by a Rocket Launcher. One entire level in Resident Evil 4 is in a monastery: apparently, religion in enclosed spaces makes you hostile. Religious folk also evidently love hording tons of gold and machine guns in their holy haven of death. Japan is a nation known for it's agnosticism and all around God-less-ness: Coincidence?

Resident Evil? More like Resident Atheists.

----------------------------------

Resident Evil hates Germans

--------------------------------

Capcom goes out on a limb for this one. Not only is the sole German character in any Resident Evil a villain (didn't see that one coming), but his name is also just as ridiculous: Krauser. If that name doesn't invoke World War II-Era hatred, I don't know what will. Krauser spends the entire game hunting the profilic hero with a knife and a bow. The Japanese are no stranger to making Germans named Krauser maniacally evil (see WolfGang Krauser). Oh; he's also parasitic. Double entendre, Capcom?

-----------------------------------------------

Resident Evil poorly portrays Cyborgs(racist)

-------------------------------------------------


Yes, Resident Evil has a cyborg character. Did you know that? Apparently Wesker underwent some "changes" after the first game, and now has super-human abilities much like the Governator's most popular film character. There aren't many cyborgs walking the earth these days, and apparently one of the few that exists loves to beat women more than James Brown. Yep, you heard that right. In the above scene, Wesker proceeds to beat Claire into a pulp for no apparent reason. He's also prone to double crossing, blackmail, and murderous rampages. Albert Wesker: Abusive Cyborg? Or just mis-represented?

----------------------------

Resident Evil hates Women

---------------------------------

As mentioned above, most of the main villains in Resident Evil beat women. Many other famous stars have beaten women: James Brown, Ike Turner, and now, Resident Evil 3's Nemesis. Nemesis stalks Jill Valentine at every turn, and slaps her every time he sees her. In fact, his mission is to kill all STARS Special Forces members, but in actualilty he seems to just like smacking around "the weaker sex".

----------------------------------

Resident Evil hates White People

----------------------------------

Finally, Resident Evil hates white people. It was bad enough that the Caucasian Cachaemic Crew were the villains of not only Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3, but they were also recently seen in Resident Evil Zero. In fact, every Resident Evil game but two of them has white villains. Apparently, everyone who lives in a Mansion has to be White, and dress terribly (this is not only racist but economically insensitive).

So there you have it. Resident Evil: Survival Horror? Or Horribly Racist? You decide.

I can't belive they missed out the blatant Zombie racism found in Resident Evil. Not ONE zombie in the series is a protagonist, and the game is about zombies! What's up with that? I bet they are zombie racsists themselves...

If you get offended, look the other way. Don't go around parading and trying to stop people from enjoying something.

I understand it's satire (as most satire is based off of some sort of factual foundation) but for the people who actually even bring up the topic...^^

Funny thing is that people out there really take it seriously. You know, finding black people in Africa, Spanish people in Spain (if I remember correctly), who would have ever thought that they occupy those areas? /sarcasm.

Finally, an article worth reading. 100% Approved.

Sure, it strayed off topic, reaching past Racism, but that's okay, RE is just plain EVIL.

Good job Capcom! :)

I was outraged when I started playing the RE5 demo. Capcom tried to even out the races a little. Why the hell are there Asians and Hispanics running around in a poor African village? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. Screw political correctness. When a company needs to make populations unrealistic to an obvious setting just to prevent rediculous lawsuits, things are getting out of hand.

Sorry but the game IS racist. In this age of Obama I'm appalled that videogame developers are still portraying black people as the bad guys. This game deserves to be banned in America and I have full faith that Obama and the full Democratic controlled congress will make it happen. Shame on you Capcom and your sickening racist ways.

Fakeboy posts sometimes are the most fun, because at first you seemed legit, and when I realize No Human would actually feel this way, I lol'ed. Thanks!

Obama is awesome, and I look forward to hearing him play the hell out of RE5, after he's brought world peace of course.

The man may just have Michelle play it and tell him about it, until his 8 years are up (Yes, he will win in 4 years too.)

You can not deny Resident Evil 5 contains some racistically charged imagery. Because you haven't played it fool. Eurogamer guy has. He says the Africans are portrayed as wild savages even when they're not infected. Etc. This debate will never die, and I will never really care particularly much. It is what it is. If you choose to see it as being racist and sterotypical, then you will. If you see it as being Resident Evil set in Africa, you will. I doubt Capcom are trying to be offensive here, so that's the way I see it. Whoopdedoo. I don't really know what I'm rambling about. Need sleep.

um no. i'm not one of those people, but to think this will 'shut people up' is just absolutely ridiculous. care to explain why you think this would quiet sane thoughtful people? nearly all the examples they give are just jokes. it was meant to be comical. how would this quiet people? c'mon. prove you aren't as ignorant as these 'ignorant fools' (your words).

Oh please. Most of these "sane thoughtful people" don't even know anything about RE5. They just see a white person shooting a black person and scream "TEH RACIST" without knowing why Chris is shooting these black people, or why they are attacking Chris.

and they have as much right to question it as you think you do by assuming they shouldn't.

i didn't say i agree with them, or you, i just absolutely disagree with marginalization like this. you should never satirize an issue like racism to try to counter people thinking something is racist. you're just as bad imo, or worse because you come from an informed angle of the argument. it's childish, it belittles those with concerns, and creates nothing but conflict - which definitely won't serve to resolve such concerns.

there are better way of trying to convince people of your stance. this is just childish, and racist in itself for the way they 'satirize' depictions of previous iterations of the series.

I remember when people first started saying RE5 was racist. They just couldn't grasp the fact that you are shooting the enemies because they are zombies not because they are black. They also couldn't grasp the fact that it's a video game made in Japan.

:lol: Hilarious. Seriously, I think the people who think RE5 is racist are racists themselves. They're playing on the fact that black people are different to every other race. Leon shoots a Spanish guy in the face - no big deal. Leon shoots a white guy in the face - no big deal. Leon shoots a black guy in the face - OMGZWTFRACEHAXBBQ.

yeah i agree... i think it was useless to point out RE5 as being racist... if the setting is in africa one would assume that the majority if not all of the people down there are not white people.... its a game so lets not ridicule serious topics like racism and take RE5 for what it is which is a fictional GAME..

It would have been a racist game if Leon would express himself and offend the enemies for their colour... which i dont recall hearing anything like that in the demo or any preview from the media stating that..

First off I don't understand this post? I imagine this post was created because the T.C does not like Resident Evil and is trying to make the game look to be something that it isn't. Bush Era politics in Resident Evil 4 game? Cmon now ....give me what ever it is your smoking, I need my day to be filled with rainbows too!

I say if theres a bunch of Zombies coming after me and my woman, they deserve to be shot and punched in the face! Doesn't matter what race they are.

Next thing they will talk about how sexist RE5 is because Chris has to come to Sheva's rescue all the time. She can take care of her self!! And its sexual harassment that the zombies are all men and they feel up on her. omg, the game needs to be cancelled!

This politically correct crap is annoying and has no place in video games.

Aside from all the jokes, there are people out there that actually try to cash-in on these type of controversy. Are they really offended by the content? Not really, but they will exaggerate their emotions for any kind of publicity. Like the people who claimed GTA was racist for killing "black" people for example.
