I'm going to stick with Yahtzee on this one, not concerned with racism until they make the zombies have afros, and do other things.....

Why does this game get all the attention when Far Cry 2 had me gunning down black people, Australians, Brits, and anyone else I could get between my cross hairs?

For s***'s sake, the game painted almost all black people in Africa as greedy, blood thirsty assholes who only care about themselves. There are a couple of positive characters like the reporter or the missionary but that's the minority.

One game is a sci-fi story about zombies that will undoubtedly be corny, one is a savage criticism of the civil war that rips countries apart in Africa daily. Why does one go unnoticed for having something to say while the nonsensical one gets all the attention?

I is not racist. I mean really to all of the mag and internet games media that even made this an issue shame on you. Is godzilla racst when he tramples a bunch of asain people where they live? No. It is an african village. Go figure that there are black people in an african village, No shit thats who you are going to kill.

What would you want a zombie out break in Africa with all white zombies?

Well... let's see, the game takes place in Africa. The majority of African citizens are black. If Las Plagas was released in Africa, the majority of the zombies would end up being black. What's the probem with that logic? Not having black zombies would be racist.

because people actual play Resident Evil. (You left your self open on that one)

I do agree with you, your point is valid.

I'd be more willing to call the History Channel's Civil War FPS racist. I played as the South and then as the North and not once did I spot an African-American soldier. Well known fact there were plenty of black soldiers on the northern side.

RE:5 isn't racist. I don't see how its any more racist then playing any other game where you kill a NPC/player of a different colour. Saying this game is racist is fucking stupid and if you think that then you should die in a hole in your perfect white world.

Every time I even hear that people think this game is racist, I laugh a little. It seems as if they were expecting a racially diverse group of flesh eating cannibals in an African village. I may be completely incorrect, but I do believe that Africa is predominately black, and while a few white zombies would still be pretty accurate, the game is far from racist. Unless we count zombie as a race. Then this is one of the most racist games ever created.

Rambling aside, I am getting this game.
