So in resident evil 5, it takes place in some part of Africa. It is said to be racist because it gets you to shoot a whole lot of black zombies.

Um...if you think this is racist....FUCK YOU.
It is set in Africa, if it was just a bunch of white zombies in Africa, then you would be mad and say "why are there no blacks in it?"

There is no pleasing you people, so lets not try to please you at all anymore. If you are offended, GOOD!

Hell, no one complained when in resident evil 4 they were shooting spanish people. So you dont have the right to be offended now. Plus they are not even black people. They are black zombies. If there is a zombie after you and is black and you are white, you wont decided to not shoot it because you fear of being racist, you will shoot it till it is no longer moving. But if you do question wether or not to shoot, then obviously you are too stupid to be allowed to live.

But isn't it kind've exploiting poverty?

[Yacazuma]

RE6 in Japan, features you killing Japanese zombies.

How racist.

[Jaketheclonetrooper]

Hasn't this been fixed with the " Oh my God, killing black Africans in Africa, where most of the population is black. How racist." argument?

[JaY11]

Nobody would complain if the main character was a black guy in the older ones.

[Bl00dRedKnife]

They let you kill white people in the previous ones.

But you don't play as a black guy. Not that it would matter. Racism towards whites doesn't exist.

Link is broke...

But this will forever remain an issue throughout life seeing as people always need something to bitch at. But notice, that white males really don't do any bitching, not trying to promote racism or sexism but its funny the stuff people find to bitch about. This game is sexist because it has a blonde female, this game is racist because your in africa and everyone is black except the main character, bleh bleh bleh

Just ignore it, regardless of what happens, freedom of speech, or so what we think is free, comes into play and it doesn't matter what people argue about. You can take it in a racist way, or you can take it for what it is, a fucking game taking place in Africa, its not like its a made up place that just happens to have a mainly black population.

oh yea this is old man...

I don't know why it didn't work. Here:

Didnt your youtube account get locked for placing something up on a RE5 video?

[Fleshlight]

Got locked for apparent racism and abuse., for calling people who say RE5 is racist 'a bunch of stupid, attention whoring dumbasses'.

Fair enough for abuse, but it's the truth. But racism? HA.

[ThePretenders]

Lol, the people who call RE5 racist are making something out of nothing. Go and moan somewhere else.

This calls for Jesse Jackson! To the Jacksonmobile! *Batman tune*

Investigators said they believe the motive was financial in nature.

It wasn't racially motivated. If it was, then it would be racism.

BTW, the guys wife is black.

Hmm... I not sure. The guy could have been killed because he married a black girl but don't jump to conclusions.

I'm more pissed off because leon isn't in this game,i want to see just one game where leon and chris team up to kick some serious zombie ass,not leon and ashly,not chris and sheva or shaneequa or whatever the hell that bitch is called in re5,just leon and chris,it would be fricken awesome.

[VenomKing666]

This whole argument is really getting stupid, it's obviously not racist, oh well those man-eating zombies want to kill me, I can't shoot them because it's racist durr, it's not like I kill them because they are motherfucking zombies or anything, I mean nobody bitched when they were spaniards.

[Renandchi2]

If the zombies were filipino, nobody would care. nobody cared when they were mexican. and jusst cause they're black, people get angry?

humans piss me off, just a bunch of assholes

[UnHoLy1986]

man this is fucking stupid... People always try to bitch about something everytime a video game with a bit of violence come out...

Remember when pissed off idiots were mad at GTA because some fucking imbecile kids shot cars on the highway !? BULLSHIT...

I've been playing Doom since the age of 5 years old dammit... Is my favorite hobby killing people on the street with a shotgun ?

Fuck it with that racist thing... will people start killing out black people because they played RE5 ??? come on already...

[Valjylmyr]

Killing black people in Africa is as racist as killing Cubans in Florida.

[lamapaj]

Man... theres a lot of people hunting for an oppurtunity to call someone racist. Everyones a human in the first place. You shoot white guys in the first ones, and black ones now. is that weird? isnt it racist against white people if it was only us getting shot all the time?
But then again, a lot of people define racism as "hate against asian, african and other non white guys"
Damn... were all humans, stop being so damn concerned about skin color

Anyone who thinks racism is hate against minorities is a white supremist. Racism is focusing attention to one specific ethnic group.

e.g, "YOU BEST GET OUTTA HERE, N*GGER!"

or

"Leave him alone, he's black."

Oh wow, well looks like I'm a white supremacist, I didn't knew that, I tought I respected black people and other minorities tough.

Just a thought:
By that very definition, you fell prey to your own statement. By calling someone who thinks racism is against a minority a white supremacist, you "singled out a specific ethnic group". Ironic, isn't it?

Either way, racism is stupid and not worth wasting time bickering about. There's always gonna be somebody looking for a way to whine. It's really just life.
