You american mates, misunderstood this game idea, and racial issues are totally overrated in your country.... Who cares the colour of our virtual enemies??? They are just charachters, no connection with the real world.... Besides, 99% of virtual bad guys in console and PC games are actually europeans - so, is that a kinda anti-white propaganda?? Nope. That's just a game. Try to look at this problem from the other side - author says, that we could get wrong representation of Africa... Why wrong?? The only african country, which is nearly civilised is South African Republic, made by whites... Have you ever been in Uganda? Heard about Amin Idi?? He was much more dangerous, then any type of zombie... Have you ever been in Zimbabwe? They still does cannibalism, is it ok for you? So, if the white guy shoots back black zombies - it is ok. It is right. No matter who zombies are - africans, asians, europeans, marsians - they must die. And talking about real Africa (at least 80% of continent) - you can easily find living zombies there, they got Kalashnikov, yeah, but they are still bloody zombies. And they are black. Mind it. Oh dear, i was bloody surprised, when i’ve got this point of view…

I did not here anyone complaining then. What about in RE Outbreak when you are the black man, you are killing white zombies then and i did not hear no white ppl comlianing that that was racist.

My heart sank as I realized this guy was serious. "Instead of battling zombies in an abandoned house or even in Spain, players will be now be blowing the heads off of the living dead in an African village." What does that even mean? It's ok for Chris (the protagonist) to kill zombies anywhere but in Africa? Why? Because there's black people in Africa? That seems kind of... racist. It's ok if he shots American zombies or Spanish zombies, but African zombies are off limits? The fact is that this shouldn't even be a discussion, but people are quick to assume malicious intent, even when an objection person would know that no such purpose exists in the game.
