News > Ridiculous Opinion On Racism In Resident Evil 5
August 1, 2007
An outraged woman of African descent has made a blog post crying racism in the recently released Resident Evil 5 trailer. She states:
"The new Resident Evil video game depicts a white man in what appears to be Africa killing Black people. The Black people are supposed to be zombies and the white man’s job is to destroy them and save humanity. “I have a job to do and I’m gonna see it through.”
This is problematic on so many levels, including the depiction of Black people as inhuman savages, the killing of Black people by a white man in military clothing, and the fact that this video game is marketed to children and young adults. Start them young… fearing, hating, and destroying Black people."
As the 130 other individuals who posted comments have been quick to point out, this is the first time the Resident Evil series has depicted the killing of anything other than white zombies (and mutated abominations), and nobody has ever had any problems before. Additionally, the M-rated Resident Evil 5 will in no way be marketed to children. This ignorant woman is clearly not to be taken seriously, except as an example of a racist working to fuel the hate machine:
"Yes… I am more comfortable with the zombies being white. In fact, ALL zombies should be white from this day forth." -Ignorant blog author
Enough said.
