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

Yea, but there is the possibility that there are features down the road which will employ that anyways. That is, perhaps Chris will have to work with a black supporting cast to finish the game...

Meanwhile, I don't get how this game could be racist. From that perspective, RE4 is racist as well, because its an american killing spaniards. (nevermind the fact that they can kill you.) It seems that perhaps the person who wrote this blog has no idea what she is talking about and simply wanted to bitch. All in all, I think cooler minds will prevail in this situation. Its FAR too early in the development cycle to be jumping to such aimless conclusions.

Its not like the game is even close to being completed yet.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well said Ultima, and thanks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The funny thing is, now that this game is being blown completely out of propoertion, white supremacists are going to go out and buy the game with the idea not of killing zombies, but of killing blacks. If she had said nothing, I doubt there would've been much incident. But by exposing herself and the stupid idea of rasicm in RE5, she is actually hurting herself more and making herself more vulnerable.

This whole thing is a waste of time and resources. Its not only making a case of nothing, but taking attention away from racism in the real world. She really should've thought this through a little more before arguing her case.
