Yeah, but isn't that racist against white people saying we would all do that given the chance?Frybird said:

My friends who play the game just leave her with a gun and a box of handgun rounds and give her nothing else because she uses it up or never uses it at all.
This is nothing. I consider this kind of stuff warm up for debates over political ideas. Now there's a challange.Frybird said:
how can sheva kill so many zombies when she should be concentrating on her proper role of making sandwiches....
Racism may(one hopes) one day be a thing of the past, but women will always have the upper hand over men. 
lmao i love seeing white guys' faces when people play the "offended, angry black guy" card. they can go through walls they backpeddle so fast.
that's okay though. we only do that to play with you. actual racists aren't fazed by that stuff, they just own up to it, right in your face.

This is very true. What I think might have helped a little is if the protagonist would have been black as well. Then it would've been a zombie game set in Africa, instead of a game where some white guy flies over to Africa to kill him some blacks (as it was apparently perceived by some). However, some people will just never be satisfied.Shamus Young said:
Also, I heard you can unlock a leopard print bikini for the black girl sidekick, which I imagine can be perceived as racist.
I enjoyed the comic as usual!
Pifft. My buddies Oxford and Webster both tell me that racism is making any judgment based on race, so even referring to the zombies as black or white is racist. Referring to people in the same way is racist too. Racist.
Ha ha, yes. You get so worried about being a racist that you accidentally let out that you're sexist! The perfect bait and switch plan.
The main problem with RE5 (other than it was a plain bad game if you couldn't play coop) is that it took the idealization of the player character and the demonization of the enemies too far. A white guy killing black people by itself isn't too bad, but you're a huge muscular white guy with perfect hair killing black guys that have apparently been ran over by a flaming truck transporting ugly. It's honestly asking for it.

"I don't hate you because you're black (kinda-sorta) or a woman. I hate you because you steal all the ammo and then waste it because you won't aim for the head!"
