There is nothing racist about a black zombie, in fact, it would be more culturally accurate for a fictional type of media to include mostly or all black zombies. |
Yeah, that makes sense. Vampires have to be Slavic, as well.
The zombie archetype is actually found in nearly every culture, going to back to Sumeria. Vampires, in fact, in many countries resemble what we think of as zombies. The name is native to Haiti, the idea is not.
