Racial Freak out over video game

This week in the Village Voice, there were complaints that a 'white' man is killing 'black' zombies in the soon to be released game, Resident Evil 5. The writer lamants that it is wrong to sell a game to kids that teaches racism. So wrong on so many levels.

First, the Resident Evil games are NOT MARKETED TO KIDS!!!!! They are rated M (for mature). Kids are not supposed to play them. Parents need to do their job and prevent itl.

Second, this is the fifth game in the series (and I haven't played a one of them), but if there was racism in them before, we would have heard it. The writer blames 'white people' for the design, even though the game was made in JAPAN!!

and Third, can't we agree that ZOMBIES ARE BAD??? It shouldn't matter what race a zombie is, they want to kill us so we should get rid of them. Haven't you read "the living dead" or seen "Shawn of the Dead"? Zombies are bad news.

In short, WAKE UP!!! Not everything is white vs. black.

yeesh!
