Now that's just silly. People weren't saying that it's racist because it's a person of one race killing another race. People are saying it's racist because was a person of one race killing a bunch of people of another race when the race of the guy killing the second peoples race was the same race that killed, enslaved and generally destroyed the continent of the 2nd guys race. To the point of where the 2nd race still gets a raw deal in many situations compared to the first race even in industralized countrys where people in authority like the police often tend to be a bit trigger happy when it comes to people of the second race. Now if white people had gone through the same thing somewhere else in the world... then you'd have more of a point. Whether they are right or wrong is up for arguement... calling them racist is just stupid.
Also San Andreas was seem as promoting a stereotype about black people... and i'm sure San Andreas wasn't full of just white people. |
That's irrelevant. Decades have passed since those incidence and most of that generation is no longer even alive and they're not the ones protesting this game. There's no connection between this game or historic events either. You cannot draw some arbritary line between fictional violence in one game and history. Re5 is set in Africa, now correct me if I'm wrong but there aren't many white people living in Africa. So should we just disallow artists from creating violent crime stories set in Africa because we might offend someone? I don't think so.
Unless someone is being blatantly damaged by this game it is ridiculous to criticize it as racist. If it was set in Berlin and the enemies were all Jew/black they would have a case but chastizing a game for portraying black natives in a Black continent and a white protoganist as per the context of the storyline is stupid.
