You act as if there are no African tribes out there. There are still people that live in straw huts and have no electricity. There are still people that hunt with spears and have never even heard of English, let alone speak it.Xzi said:It's not so much that he simply killed black people as it was the way they were portrayed on some levels.Aura Guardian said:Remember folks. It's fine for a white cop(ish) person to kill Spaniards in Spain. But if a White cop kills Africans in Africa, its wrong.
RE4 didn't have Spaniard zombies dancing around sombreros, or sleeping and selling oranges on street corners.
But RE5 had black people coming out of straw huts and yelling "OOGA BOOGA!" Like some sort of blatantly racist early cartoons depicting them.

I find the Resident Evil games incredibly hurtful and offensive to zombies!
They deserve respect!

Do I think they intended to be racist, though? No. I'm with Yahtzee on this one, I think they're just idiots. Completely oblivious to the the impact they might have with certain content.

Its clearly noted in the game that the people who lived there were all factory workers that reverted as an effect of the plagas. Kind of like how the Spanish ones lived in a castle and used crossbows, maces and catapults instead of modern weapons. In both cases there are infected that go back to older forms of civilization.
