I'm not sure if many of you have heard, but people are beginning to call (or have been calling) Capcom's new entry into the RE franchise, racist. Why? Because it takes place in Africa and -GASP- allows killing of Africans. Of course the only reason the game says to kill them is they are zombified and you need to survive.

In supposed response to this, there now seems to be apparent white zombies in the latest trailer.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it right to call "RACIST" now and ignore the massive white/spanish zombie genocides of the past? Do you feel it was necessary for Capcom to bend to the cries of those offended?

Black characters throughout the series get killed off pretty quick, but then that happens in real B horror flicks, and that's what the series is based on. Night of the Living Dead being the only exception.

Overall I don't think the game is racist. If you follow the storyline, it makes scene that Chris and Clarie would find the umbrella virus origin in Africa. People claim AIDS was made in a corporate lab and put in Africa after all.

RE is most definitely racist. The glorification of murdering of hundreds (thousands?) of undead and parasite-infested is almost Hitler-esque in scope and unparalleled in bigotry. Another thing--why PETA hasn't sued Capcom to Silent Hill and back for its treatment of animals is entirely beyond me. I mean, shotgunning puppies? Blowing up a pressurized canister in a crocodile's mouth? Removing a shark from its water? In fact, I think Capcom is directly responsible for the rampant dogfighting in the southern parts of the US.

I can understand why someone who comes from a country with a history of racial aggression might have personal reservations towards playing a game where you run around killing black people but the notion that this game is genuinely racist is ridiculous. To claim that is to completely ignore both the context of the actual game and the developer's country of origin. There is no rational reason why anyone should think that Capcom had any sinister intentions in mind when they decided upon the setting.

Spaniards are not Hispanic, Spaniards are Caucasians (white).
The Iberian peninsula was settled and/or invaded by Celtics, Romans, Germanic groups such as the Visigoths, and the Moors (Greeks and Phoenician traders also traveled as far as the Iberian peninsula for business)

Americans tend to mis-categorize anything Spanish named as Hispanic which is a total inaccuracy.

Even the general term Hispanic for racial profiling is in itself inaccurate.

Latin America is a populated by the Indeginous, Caucasian, African, Mestizosm , and various Mixed race popoulation.
The demographic varies greatly from area to area depending on it's history.
It's too broad and general to label all of Latin America as Hispanic.

Typically I would avoid being involved in a racial discussion, but I'm quite frustrated.

Discrimination as unfortunate as it is to say is part of human nature. You're a different color, have a different sexual preference, or haven't conformed to stereotypes so it's impossible to agree to disagree or see eye-to-eye. The truth is that "African-Americans" aren't alone in their suffering. Everyone falls victim to discrimination no matter the color of their skin, or sexual preference. I've done my share of slandering, but then again... who hasn't? I've been called "cracker" numerous times, but I'm not making a big fuss about it. It seems to me that the "African-American" community is making a big fuss over something trivial.

I think that the "African-American" community should get the hell over themselves. The Spaniards didn't make a fuss about Resident Evil 4. The "American" (Generalizing the white community) haven't made a fuss about the previous Resident Evil titles.

However when the tables are turned and something as innocent as a RE5 trailer comes out, all of a sudden it's racist. It's double standards like these that make me hate the human race. :-\

I think what JoSephiroth is trying to say is that the general concensus is blacks can be as racial as they want and no one bats an eye because they're not racist, they're edgy and alternative! However when the tables are turned and something as innocent as a RE5 trailer comes out, all of a sudden it's racist. It's double standards like these that make me hate the human race. :-\

Interesting? When 50 Cents game Bulletproof was about to come out, white people were in an uproar because one of the trailers showed 50 shooting only white people in suits.

Seriously, if you want to bitch about the human race, there are forums you can join that will welcome you with open arms.

If anything people should have been in an uproar for how shitty the game was.

Also, seeing as how this is the only thread where I am "bitching" about it, there's no reason to join another forum.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen today.

I didn't notice anything too terrible in the trailer. Just zombies. From Africa. And zombies need to be shot on sight. That's every RE.

I wouldn't generally attribute the outcry to the general black public. More than likely the old 'racist' complaint was pulled out by "leaders in the black community" who have no fucking clue about the franchise. I guess all they see is white guy vs. Africans and it's 1820 all over again. I couldn't even call it racist. However, maybe a tad insensitive to the plight of some African countries which actually do suffer from rampant disease.

The decision to diversify the zombie cast is an ignorant one, but mostly harmless as it won't really ruin the game. Still, this is some sad shit to read.

Capcom is being racist because the black person is a girl! What, do they think that a white man is the only person fit for the main role of a zombie killing game!? They're being discriminatory and demeaning to women!! Especially because the black chick is not 'hot' like Jill Valentine was!! I'm going to sue them for this!!

It wouldn't surprise me if something like that showed up :P.

Seriously, anyone who thinks this game is racist is a complete fuckwit. When it's white zombies that are being killed nobody bats an eyelid but as soon as the zombies are black there is uproar. It's just a game for christs sake, what do the protesters want? For no games ever to be set in a country where the majority of the population is black? Those guys clearly have little to none brain cells.

If the next Resident Evil game doesn't have Ada Wong killing japanese zombies in Japan, then I'll say Capcom is racist.

About the girl. That's just a couple shots of her. I'd have to play the game to decide her hot factor.

no one denied jill or claire's hotness factor just by seeing rendered artwork.

Jill was never hot to me, though I can see why other people would think so.

As for Claire, I didn't think she was hot until I saw her hair down in the RE2's story clear screen.

dead wrong my friend.
japanese LOVE voluptuous women, both in ass and boobs.
they specially like blondes.

according to a programmer in re4, ashley was made based on the team's ideal blonde girl... and britney spears.

and i also think jill is the hottest of the RE girls, but i tend to like CUTE girls most, thus, rebecca is my favorite female character.
