Liberal Website: Resident Evil a “Racist Video Game Series”

Here we are again. Resident Evil is back to being called racist. The difference, however, is that it's not just Resident Evil 5. Nope, this person is calling the entire series racist. Resident Evil 4 has now finally be called racist as well, however I was dumbfounded to hear one of the complaints, which was they had stereotypical Mexican accents. I really didn't see how it was stereotypical, I mean considering where the game takes place you'd expect them to sound like that, wouldn't you? But, then again, could you actually consider their accent Mexican? They're Spaniards, not Mexicans.

This person also, as usual with these claims, ignore that up until Resident Evil 4 the zombies have been predominately white and not to mention they talk as if these games are being created by white men when in fact it's developed by the Japanese. With Resident Evil 5, now known for a fact to be taking place in Haiti, it's getting blasted for having predominately black zombies. But, why? It's an area where the culture is predominately black anyway, about 95% if I heard correctly. Also, Haiti is steeped in voodoo and zombie myth, so isn't it actually appropriate for a series about zombies appearing in this part of the world?

You take up the role of Resident Evil original Chris Redfield taking on legions of black zombies and this automatically equals racism some how. I can see how seeing a white man killing hordes of black people could look offensive to some, but even in the trailer it was made clear that he was merely defending himself. He didn't just walk into town and start shooting randomly at what ever dark skinned person he saw first, in fact when he walked into town everything seemed normal and no one was attacking him. The trailer shows very clearly that the villagers aren't themselves as you get to see one villager "possessed" by something, they aren't the ones being portrayed as mindless savages, it's whatever is controlling them that is the savage creature(s).

People are just looking to stir up trouble, and these people are always the ones who don't know shit about what they're talking about. Calling Resident Evil a racist series is just ridiculous.
