You guys don't get it at all. I think it's more to do with the portrayal of the continent and it's indigenous people than the zombies that are being killed. There's also the possibility of a misconstrued hidden agenda about lighter skin = better. Notice how Sheva is much lighter than the other Africans when she's supposed to be from there and how the lighting is designed such that only the eyes of some other indigenous people manage to show.

Google N'gai Croal's original interview on mtv multiplayer for insight. It was really enlightening!

This. I'm so happy that somebody else gets this. Not that I do or do not take issue with it, that's just what I percieved as being the fuel for the article's complaints.

When N'gai first pointed it out, gamers just kept bashing him without really understanding what he was saying. It's not as simple as who you're shooting at. That was never the issue at all but till today people still don't get the complaints lol.

Well the article said they went to a few places in Africa to accurately portray how it is....Now IF they did not manipulate or exaggerate how bad it is to live there or the environment i do not see what the problem is...

Lets say that it was only white people in RE5, and now imagine if there is a RE game in China or Japan that only featured white zombies and no Asians.

Doesn't that seem racist? Whites are the only people in the world, amirite! Pretending like us White people are the only people has got to be the most racist, self-centered bullshit I've ever heard of. But that's what the media thinks is politically correct!



while i completely disagree with the media, maybe, just maybe... capcom should have thought about this a lil head on and included a black guy as well.. black guy shootin black guy seems OK??!! right??

..oh wait that would have gotten into political debate as well..



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

Yeah, but what if there was a zombie slaying game set in China and the zombies spoke shitty Engrish, lived in pagodas and temples, and looked like this:

That's where the complaints are coming from.

Exactly!

 

Seriously, all this "racism" crap has to stop, almost everything gets blamed on racism, no one cares what colour you are or where you from so why make a big thing about it?
