Resident Evil 5 is not racist
Seriously, people! You're all making a big fuss over nothing! If a WWII game has you in Germany, blowing away Nazis, it's not racist, it's true to life. If a game was set in Poland and you had to wave at one-armed men in trees, that wouldn't be considered racist. Well, maybe that last one. A little bit.
But, the point is, Capcom is trying to make it feel authentic and as real to life as a game of this type can possibly be. Black people live in Africa. Africa has become infected. The people living there carry the infection, turning them into murderous crazies trying to end our heroes. It seems pretty cut and dry to me.
Now, get back to complaining about the controls already!
