So much BS here.
People have every right to call the game racist, when the hero isn't even black.
How come the hero has guns and all in a country where it's highly unlikely he could keep any weapon, while there are heavy chances that lots of black guerilla people have weapons?
So much for realism. Make the hero black, and everyone will be happy, if you'd believe people in this very thread, as they don't care. Is that so hard to do?

 

The 2nd main character is a black woman ;)

If there is one thing I've noticed about "gamers" or this culture is that those in it are remarkably insensative to the race issue or to murder, the resulting apathy to the combination of the two lead into outburst when brought to light. It has nothing to do with the game being racist or not why half the "gamers" who are objecting to it are objecting, but that these people are chalenging the norm with the norm. The result is many of the people responding to this thread being insensative but to this community that's ok.

As far as this goes though, south africa is actually packed with white's since the diamond rush on the east coast back in the imperialistic era of Europe. There aren't as many poor/uneducated whites as there are black sadly there aren't nearly as many rich/educated blacks as there are whites.

The ratio is roughly every 9 black people that you see in South Africa you will see one white person.... It's hard to image South Africa used to be a cross roads of lives before the raping of Africa... but then again a lot of gamers don't care about the history of gaming I doubt they would care about the worlds history...

Capcom I hope the story is at least worth it... this brings to light the sadest aspect of humanity - which is we are entertained by nonsensical killings.

Also the wording of the OP makes it sound like 100%x 0 = 0 white people in Resident Evil 5

Nextly could you post a source?

I'm Unamerica and you can too.

So why should I be worried about something that happened in previous... centuries...

I am sorry that is like saying that I should still be upset with the cathlics because during the inquistion they killed thousands of protestants(which I am) for their beliefs.

I think people are too sensitive about race issues. From what I can tell the problems that exist today amoung any race/culture is self inflicted. I will not elaborate on that statement because it is a very sensative issue, but I will say a good friends is writing his diseration on the subject and we have talked quite a bit about it.

It's interesting, RE, RE2, RE:CV, RE3, RE:UC, etc all featured the killing of zombies that happened to be mostly white. Nobody thought that was racism. It's funny how racism usually only seems to be a one way street.

Personally, I think GTA:SA or Saints Row could be considered more racist as how it depicts African Americans along with other races. Not that I find any of it offensive or think it should be.

That's a stupid comparison. 1) The main characters were all white. 2) There are plenty of other things wrong with it... but 1 suffices.

It's possible for any given storyline to just happen to have enemies of a certain race, just because of where it is set.  That may be the case here.

But I guess the question just whether any of these games are made with an eye toward fulfilling jingoist white American/Euro/patriot fantasies of killing foreigners, the evil "other."  Is that ever targetted as a market segment?  I bet it is, sometimes.  I'm thinking of you, Mercenaries II.

Thing is, we have plenty of stories where aliens or orcs are the "others"...if there's any indication that people are getting off by having Arabs (or whatever) substituted as the enemies and revelling in killing them...well, f*** racist gamers, anyway.

yea that is pretty gay they are ruining the atsosphere of the game.

and to those saying south africa, that is actually still like totally black. probably above 80%. It just is that the higher up class people down there are pretty much all white so then people just make the assumption, since you usually only see that areas



Wait, what?

I'm not really sure what this thread is even about anymore.



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

well, technically, in south africa, there are more white people than black.
wait no, thats a lie, it's in africa wtf



Guys, who really cares! Resident Evil 5 will prove to be a great game. That's all that matters.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
