I'm not concerned with the racial aspects of this game, but more for the insensitivity to current affairs. Nor do I care about portrayal of race in games. It's fantasy based off of reality. I'd feel no different if it was a game based in Romania with human traffic victims as zombies. It's tasteless.

who's happy living in poverty? who wants to live in poverty? you've made one of the most blind and baseless comments I've heard. Have you been to Africa? Have you met any of the so called dessert-dwelling hut people you speak of? I guess you have, in one of those 30-minute infomercials. Jeez!! I guess you just don't understand systematically oppressed nations, huh?
Do some research! Your "facts" are completely off-base!
Anam - I see your point and you're right. She is being racist about it and I will never defend her racism. My points were more to the reason of why people are apprehensive about seeing a white character shooting blacks. For some of us, it hits too close to home, be the gunman white, black, or hispanic. And for others, it conjures images of oppression and servitude. Regardless of intent, it's in bad taste. Capcom should consider current affairs.
typical, but if you don't care, why waste your time with a post in the first place? Don't generalize...
"Blacks" don't always play the victim role. Get out of your shell and meet some "blacks" before planting your racist flag. You might change your opinion.
"Did you see any WHITE people whine at the JAPS for making WHITE people zombies no."
Unfortunately, whites don't care because they've never been on the receiving end of mans inhumanity to man. Must be nice to pick and choose what to care about or to care at all...
"If this was a black guy killing white guys no one wouldnt of said sh&t."
If there was such a country of whites going through current inhumane horrors as those in Africa, and a game was made in similar settings with linkable parallels, "no one WOULDN'T of said shit"! (your words, not mine) You wouldn't be able to not hear about the outrage. It'd be all over the news and casual conversation!
