African American Woman blog says RE5 is racist (we saw this coming)

Although we all saw this coming a mile away, I can't blame people for getting the wrong idea about this game. It WAS extremely tactless of Capcom to present the game the way they did. I'm sure Capcom has some very important, colored, NPCs (and possibly even playable characters, one way or another), that appear in game, but the fact of the matter is that no such hint is given in the trailer shown at E3. We all know they don't mean to be racist, but the fact of the matter is that it was bound to be misinterpreted.

I also have to add that I don't agree on the "no one will buy this game on racist grounds", though. Sadly, realisticly speaking, there WILL be people doing this, but there's no reason to blame the game, or the developers for that matter, for being racist. They're just trying out new borders and boundaries, aiming at making an original, never before tried, setting for the game.

Additionally, saying that kids will be taught racist views via this game is an absolute outrage. The very reason kids will be playing this game in the first place will be because their parents are ignorant enough to allow them to do so. If kids see the game the wrong way, playing it because they want to kill "blacks", it's not going to be because they were taught to do so through the game. More likely, they'll have had this view long before they ever heard about RE5.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just hope Capcom stands tall and doesn't give in to the bullshit.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
