Well, what about the fact that Chris Redfield has experience dealing with Umbrella and zombies, which I seriously doubt these villagers do? I presume that's why he's there in the first place -- in connection with that stuff.
Admittedly it would have been nicer if the black character was a local ... but eh. The white guy isn't a big deal from this angle. Unless you're saying no outsiders should ever come in and save the day when helpless people are getting oppressed in fiction? I don't want to be derisive but I really strongly disagree with what I can see of your position.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
