I saw the demo and said to myself, "I wonder how long it will be until they start pulling the race card on this game?" I read an article a couple of days ago on it too. I can't stand when people start pulling the race card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pants Party Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 What the fuck are these people even watching video game trailers for? When you go looking for racism, you'll find it. It's when it finds you that it's truly racism. Edit: I also love how the author is blatantly racist herself, as if shooting white zombies excited her, but the thought of shooting black zombies is ludicrous. Resident Evil has been giving us excuses to shoot the living hell out of pale, pasty, flesh-eating zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SegaSaturnSNK Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 No one complained about RE4 with Spanish people but when it comes to black people, it's biggest deal in the planet. Nothing against black people, they're are the most sensitive race that is out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton77 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 hmm Noone Really Cares About Africa or whereever chris refield is anyways.. The Game is dope Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rival Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I suppose it was enevitable. Most people wouldn't have even thought about this issue of race unless some overly-sensitive type brought it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremlos Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 People need to chill, who cares if they're black? I didnt care when I was shooting white zombies... "It's not just that these zombies are black, but that the uninfected black villagers are zombie-like too," Ruberg wrote. "See all those spooky shots of the villagers before they get infected? It's as if race itself were a disease. The white protagonist has to fight back or be infected." ^ Total bullshit "According to the statistics of racial make-up in the world, I'd actually say that whites have been unfairly discriminated against in the series, if anything, since so many of them have been enemies in RE," said one commenter. "It only seems fair that Africans get treated equally, and with only one game full of primarily black enemies to six games full of primarily white, from a racial viewpoint I'd say that the Africans are getting off easy." Now that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsmitmyster Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I thought the article was highly entertaining and laughed out loud when one dude commented that white zombies had been descriminated against too much - class! Anyway, I can't see the game being banned like Manhunt 2, it's just the PC brigade in full flow with nothing useful to do as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRH KRONIC Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 WOW, wtf so all these zombie games where theres only white zombies is ok, but when there one with only black zombies its racist jesus christ anti-racist ppl r fucking retarded. when ever theres a black charecter, he cant die too soon, or have slangy dialonge, or do anything that he would normally do ????? so its pretty much a white dude that has a seriously dark tan..

Exane22 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 This is funny. Its a game based in africa, of course the zombies are black. You cant have a game set in the middle east with out middle easterns, why would it be any different about a game set in africa. What about black people who played all the other RE games killin white zombies, are they racist for that. Good lord people suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcizion Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I really wanna make a racist statement, but I'm not. Anyone who finds this game racist is pretty dumb. I'd laugh my ass off if the game was changed to only have White Zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordes Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I knew this was coming when I first watched the video, I just didn't expect it so soon. The game is not racist because apparently, it's some kind of drug that lets them act that way which means, that they are actually being saved, which is a good thing. It also says: "Don't do drugs". Sounds like a good game to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viciousmental56 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 "including the depiction of Black people as inhuman savages, the killing of Black people by a white man in military clothing, and the fact that this video game is marketed to children and young adults. Start them young...fearing, hating, and destroying Black people." wtf does this person think that everyone that plays this game is going to join the kkk?

quidyg Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 the thing that really really pisses me off is that some people have nothing to do than complain about video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisposedCheese Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I think this game is racist towards whites haha. Black people are attacking you a white military soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam360 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 But in practically every other game in existence, you spend most of the time killing white people...and often you can play as a black character.... So when it's the other way round, why should that be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlicK Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 It's sad that the writer is obviously more racist than anyone who would read her blog. Does anyone have an email for that stupid bitch? We should all forward our spam folders to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmare975 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Does anyone have an email for that stupid bitch? We should all forward our spam folders to her. If we did that, we'd be as bad as her. I'd say to just ignore her, she's just one person, she can't get the game pulled, so why should we care? I read the article and laughed my ass off, just to let you know. I almost got the idea that if there's a black person in a game, than that game must be racist. >_< Ugh, why are people such idiots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da voodoo child Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 i didnt even think about the whole race card when i was playing the game it seemed like just a regular videogame not like there throwin down the n word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormShadow 11B Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I saw this coming as well after watching the trailer. No matter what the subject matter is, if it involves blacks and whites, SOMBODY will find it racist. This is just human ignorance and should be simply ignored. The reason you actually get to read articles like this is because blacks are coddled by the media and poloticians out of fear. They think that if they disagree with or disregard such statements that they will be accused of being "racist". If a white man wrote an article like that, people would laugh at him and think he was an extremist. Not all blacks feel this way and I pity those that do. Just remember the way these things make you feel and NEVER be afraid to disagree or express your views because someone might call you names. By the same standard, as ignorant and stupid as people like Al Sharpton are, they have the right to say whatever they want. YOU also have the right to laugh at them.

MrHarribalsonya Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I agree with pants party on this one. Who cares where the game takes place at. Why do people have to get so bent out of shape? This standards and practices crap has gone way to far. It's based off the same premise as black hawk down. That's what they wrote the game around. And you don't see people pulling the race card on that movie. I think that whatever concerns people might have about racial situations will breath easy once the game actually hits stores.
