I don't know if this has been brought up here, but I've been seeing stuff around about Resident Evil 5 being racist, and people flipping out that a white guy is set in Africa, killing zombies. Yes, it's a little touchy, but come on, it's a video game.
I might be a little more sympathetic if the game RIGHT BEFORE IT, which featured another white guy running through Spain killing hispanic zombies/cultists, had received the same kind of uproar, but alas, it didn't. Why does it only matter when African Americans are involved?
Whatever, I wanted to see what other people, maybe some non-gamers, had to say about the little debate.
Oh, here's the trailer.

Yeah, I agree. Because killing Spanish people is so much more different than killing Africans...

oooh graphics are good! Is this available on the wii - because if it is I want it :)
In terms of the argument, I agree with you, its stupid. Especially considering the game before. There is only uproar because people think there should be uproar.
