A Rainbow-Colored Response to RE5 Being Racist

August 02, 2007

- I played Resident Evil 6 today and all the zombies had red necks. Where's my blog?- Perhaps the black zombies should have been The Color Purple.- If a zombie is about to eat me, I think that my primary concern is not: "The Impact on Subvarieties of Melanin in Zombie-Human Relations".- I don't see what the big deal is. They're obviously African zombies, not African-American ones.- The problem is definitely with Japan. I mean, the Japanese should know that whites and blacks are not as equal in America as they are there. It would set a bad example and that's so not Oprah.- The only people that can claim video games to be racist are ugly alien humanoids before they're beautifully dead. You know, the good kind.- Resident Evil 5 is not racist. It would be if the zombies were distracted by holograms of KFC.

Having black, African zombies is not racist. It's ridiculous. Everyone knows that only white people make good zombies.

I remember people leveraging similar complaints against RE4.

Me, I also don't see what the problem is. Judging by the number of Middle American zombies killed during the course of REs 2 & 3, I'd say the characters in Resident Evil are equal opportunity killers.

Big deal, doesn't the game take place in Africa or something? It isn't the developers fault that the majority of people in Africa are black. I'm sure there was no malicious intent.

For now on I guess there needs to be a black, white, hispanic, asian, and native american zombie to make it fair, right?

People are overly sensitive about a lot of stupid things. This is why all commercials always have white guys as the "foolish" or "uninformed" butt of the joke.

Undead blacks are people too. Throw them Kool-Aid to distract them.
