Wait a second.

Couldn't also argue that the game is racist if it didn't include black zombies?


Yep.

Developers need to be careful, they could see massive boycotts of there games in the future.  /sarcasm

It is kind of strange that an Japanese company made games with only White zombies in it and everyone was okay with it....Until their were black people in it;....=p Yeah a bit of topic.

But there has to be black zombies haha. I mean it's New Orleans. Wouldn't be accurate if some weren't black considering the population has a lot of black people in it.

People are just looking for areas to throw the race card. It is pathetic and silly. You only drive racism further by continuously making it a big deal. And by finding it in places where it doesn't exist... well now you are just creating tensions for no reason.

Its newspaper companies that make this a big deal, afterall, they make £££ out of these stories.

RE5 i can see. L4D 2 I can't... for a few reasons. Most notiably.

1) Not the same history of white men with guns

2) They're all Americans. It's not Americans coming in and straighting out a "backword" african nation...

Seriously, Louisiana is, I believe, one of the only states where there are more black people than white people.

For some odd reason I want to say South Carolina as well but can't confirm that.  Not sure if Louisiana is dominant black though but a larger percentage than most states.

I remember seeing something on the news during the 2000 census where they said there was 1% more black people than white people.

South Carolina had more slaves than white people in the Civil War. I remember that, but I don't know much about SC.

This is technically true.  Though Whites and Blacks are both outnumbered by Creoles.

Which are basically White/Black and Native American mixed.

Yesterday I saw an reportage about South Carolina (I think) who was about Two african gangs the bloods and crips (do I write it right?) who attacked the police and killed innocent white men in the 90's just because those people were not black and they also mentioned something about that their were more African Americans that *White Americans in South Carolina'.

Don't take my word on it though.
