Default Resident Evil 5 is racist!

I bought RE5 yesterday and have been playing it for the about 2-3 hours. The thing that strikes me the most about his game is how racist it is, all the bad guys are zombiefied versions of what the world has come to recognize as generic descriptions of Africans, Southeast Asians and Arabs. The token colored good girl is nothing more than Lara croft with a tan, complete with a stuck up British accent.

EDIT: I don't think it's racist to make African zombies in Africa. But what are Indian, Arab and what looks like Malay zombies doing in what looks like Central Africa.

Pretty sure it's not a British accent.

Also, please tell me the post was a joke. You can't honestly be serious and think that.

What would you rather have them look like?


It takes place in Africa, in places where the villagers are very poor.


It is not racist.
