I sure hope not, but I can't help but think that Al Sharpton and other politicians will be all over this game just because it's a white male killing alot of black people. It's ridicilous but still...what do you guys think?

As long as you are shooting Africans, then yes. Not to be rude or racist in any way, but people like Jesse Jackson will make sure this game has a tough time hitting shelves.

All they have to do is point out RE4 where you killed a bunch of Spaniards. How is that any different? Neither is racist, it's illogical to kill a bunch of white people in Haiti or Africa or wherever RE5 is.

Only in the way that Mass Effect was controversial. Only a matter of when we'll see a group of uninformed people on some news panel talking about it.

White man killing black people? What else is new? how is the controversial?

Cute_Red_Panda

How about black people killing black people, would that be fair? That is surely nothing new, now is it? The most racism I see these days is from the ones that are still so insecurely trapped in the past that they have to beat a dead horse with one hand, while propping themselves up on the crutch of their cop out argument with the other hand. But I guess that makes me racist for saying that as well, aye?:roll:

Wait panda are you offended by what he said? I think he has a legitimate point.

The most racism I see is kids at school playing the race card to get out of things. And please, the whole argument about how Africans used to be enslaved, big freaking whoop. It was terrible of COURSE. BUT...

Almost every race has been enslaved at one point. The Native Americans in our country have it the worst off followed by probably Jews and Mexican-Americans. In fact, lately I have even heard people of the opinion that white people are getting the worst end of the deal (and not just from white people) due to things like affirmative action and all the social taboos you have to avoid (the "N" word and just generally watching what you say). I'm not sure I agree with that, but what I do know is generally the people pointing the fingers at supposed "racists" are more racist themselves.

You could kill 50 black people and it still wouldn't and shoudn't mean that you are a racist. The issue has become so silly nowadays e.g. Jews shouting "You are anti semetic!" when you disagree with them or silly stuff like that. It's become an invalid excuse for many things.

I totally agree, but it's illogical also to be killing zombies, etc. And people won't care, they will say they should have set it in another place. Where a white man kills white people or have a black man kill black people....

You all should visit "Off Topic" more often. These race debates pop up every other day.

Yes the game will take flak. But they can't blame the white man now! They have to blame the Asian man! (Resident Evil is developed in Asia right?! RIGHT?!)

if you were in an african country killing white people and there were no black people, i think that would be more racist.

Cute_Red_Panda

Black man killing whites. That is in the news every day. No controversy there so why should this be. I think it is going to be a blast.
