More Resident Evil 5 racism claims

[pakidan101]

Hmm, this is very complicated indeed.

On the one hand, I hate it when people try to look at situations and try to find ways to see it as being racist. Yes, african americans have been through a lot; racism, slavery, lack of freedoms, etc. But they overcame to get those freedoms....very few people are left from that era in today's world. So now this guy has the gall to claim that he feels offended? He has the freedoms now. He doesn't have to suffer like the black people had to do in the past. He never went through the struggle. Doing this is just trying to ask more pity from everybody else, which is a disgusting thing to do. Just move on and stop trying to get people to feel sorry for you and other African Americans.....things are different now in today's world and asking people to do things differently because it might be "racist" when it really is just a matter of "different perspectives" is just foolish.

However, on the other hand, one needs to know the history of Haiti to know that the people there are very sensitive about what happens in RE5. It isn't the white-killing-black that I believe might be hurtful, but it is the overall violence. Haiti went through A LOT of violence....civil wars, violent dictators and coup de etat.....hell, they went through 7 leaders in 6 years before the U.S. tried to colonize the land in the early 1900's (the last leader having his head cut off and his body chucked out the window of the palace in front of a large crowd). And believe me, the U.S. influence didn't help a lot to quell the violence. That maybe why it might be a little wrong to have RE5 in Haiti. It would be like having a game where you have to kill an entire zombies in Darfur or Rwanda during its civil war, or Jewish zombies during Nazi Germany in WWII. Yes they are zombies. But they were human before zombie.

So, in conclusion, I am lost as to how to perceive this. But, hey, what do I care? I hate horror games (gives me the creeps )
