I think people are too eager these days to jump on the racist train and callout anything that can even resemble some sort of racism. People wouldn't criticize if we were killing all white zombies. It's pretty messed up how that works. Zombies can be from all sorts of cultures and be all sorts of colors and religions but in the end they all want to eat your brains plain and simple. If you don't want to kill them because you are afraid it'll be called a hate crime then let them devour you.

But seriously I think Capcom was just going for a new exotic location to add more depth and create a cool place to set up for the next part of the series. Personally I don't want to run around Raccoon City all the time. I've been there and seen that and I think it's great how they've been exposing us to these new locations in the last couple games.

It's best not to look too closely and try to yell out racism. It's plain dumb and actually hurts a person's creativity as they'd have to watch and be very careful not to offend anyone all the time. Unless it's blantantly obvious that it's an attack on some racial group or whatever it usually isn't.
