Actually I do find the African Zombies situation somewhat offensive.
The idea of Zombies came from Africa, but it was completely misinterpreted and bastardized by western culture. In Africa, voodoo was used to raise people from the dead (mythically), but they didn't come back as brain eating killer monsters, it was a religious and spiritual experience that could allow the dead to be reunited with their families. In Africa, it's an amazing and miraculous thing for your loved ones to be risen from the dead, but our culture has turned it into a gore filled cheesy horror setting.
Something tells me I'm going to be missing Shinji Mikami's brilliant writing when this game comes out.
