Racism: The zombie connection.

Resident Evil 5 zombie.

Read the article on Kotaku.

The above image is a picture of a zombie from the upcoming video game Resident Evil 5.

Image of the game in action.
Now, I’m a fan of the RE series, and I’ve gotta say this – what about all the white zombies? All of the hundreds of brain-craving honky corpses that have been sliced, diced, shot up, incinerated, exploded, and kicked? Is the series racist against Spaniards because of the fourth installment’s European setting? Does it advocate animal abuse because you have to mercilessly slaughter infected hounds? Is it predjudiced against presedential daughters (a fictional one, whom you have to rescue in Resident Evil 4, is portrayed as a dumb blonde. Not far from the truth, perhaps… Oh, and Bush incest too. )
Anyhow….As I was saying before Mr. Hyde (in parenthesis form) took over was that these games don’t engender hatred towards any specific race. The next installment in the series apperas to take place on some island where the population is primarily of African descent.
I happen to be a honky. The zombies in RE5 happen to be black.
Conspiracy?
You decide.
