Resident Evil 5 in race storm
Pits white hero against "primitive" African villagers
By Mike Smith


"Set in a fictional African country, the latest in the critically-acclaimed Resident Evil series is sparking racial controversy over its choice of enemies."




How long until Al Sharpton's fat ass is getting some camera time on this?

Moved from OT before I posted in it and then couldn't move it.

The monkey comic was fucking hilarious.

So on the "Angry White Man" scale of 1-10, where would you rate yourself?

 

[spidey07]

What? You mean there's african-americans in Africa? This is an outrage! It's outrageous!

 

[m1ldslide1]

Where's the news? If someone wants to get upset, they need look no further than classics like Indiana Jones. What's more offensive than a white guy in a cowboy hat swooping through 3rd-world countries to beat up / shoot the natives and take their artifacts back to foreign (American) museums? The point being that condescending (and even violent) ethnocentrism is prevalent in our entertainment culture, and to cherry-pick this game as an offender is silly.

Lol, my thoughts exactly. :thumbsup:

Sadly, ignorant cliches sell, because they appeal to the highly touted 12 year old male mindset.

That does not make them any less ignorant or any less stupid.

So I point out faux-racial outrage, and somehow my race gets put back on me in a derogatory manner.

It was like when the Black Panthers were standing outside voting booths on election day. Somehow it got flipped around to how white people are racist.

Discuss the topic. One-liners on race only prove my point.

:thumbsup: Agreed. I never even thought about the racial connotations until others brought it up. Almost all the suits in washington, white or black, are monkeys

Maybe they should have made the person have a black side kick to avoid problems

 

[rudder]

All games need to be set in 1930's nazi Germany. Then no one will be offended except for a few skinheads.

I think the big question is: "Who gives a fuck?"

And then of course, the answer is: "Angry white men."

See, whereas the rest of us just ignore these ridiculous outbursts, chalking them up to years of racial oppression and mistreatment with a casual "yeah, alright, sure, whatever,"

The angriest and whitest among us take it upon themselves to jump up and down like coked-up deer ticks and shout:

"SEE! SEE! IT WAS MADE UP ALL ALONG! RACISM ISN'T REAL! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! LALALALALALALALALALA!"

Those of us who are rational understand that this story about a video game is nonsense and that there wasn't even anything to really be upset by in that silly comic - but that's all they are, silly distractions that rile up closet racists like you

The problem with saying "Who gives a fuck" is that it is a published article, so obviously someone does.

Who "gave a fuck" about the monkey comic? Well, everyone did. See the numerous topics, nightly news, national papers, etc. It was a 3-5 day blitz on Al Sharpton and "monkey = racism."

Bringing up the race of the person who points out such crap, makes you look like the racist. Im sure it isnt only white people that think this and the monkey story are ludicrous.

Calling someone a "closet racist" is below you, I would think.

 

[manowar821]

This is such old fucking news, it's actually pathetic that you'd try to bring it up, again.

 

[fallout man]

This is indeed incredibly old news.

Besides, zombification transcends racial barriers. On a restaraunt outing, I would be just as offended if seated next to a black zombie family as I would if seated next to a white, or Laotian zombie family. Those people have no manners.

You people are such blackholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey genius, African Americans are in America not Africa. in Africa there are.......*shocker*.......Africans.

 

[halik]

Fucking idiots... of course the PC way of making a game situated in Africa would be to have every race represented...


NEXT UP: People get offended by National Geographic documentary of Ethiopia, as it depicts poor and shirtless black people.

If the zombies were all white, I wager that someone would start screaming that the game is glorifying apartheid.

White zombies have had the spotlight for long enough.

For the record, there are African-Americans in Africa. IIRC, A significant fraction of the population of Liberia is descended from freed American slaves.

I don't know... they're awfully good at what they do. Can the black zombies step up to the plate?

That doesn't make them American, just like it doesn't make black people in America African.

But if they were born in Liberia, then they're Liberian. "African-Americans" need to be American citizens, or at least resident aliens.

I dunno....... they were better than Rob Zombie on his own.

The person who goes around scouring every incident in order to prove that racism is a lie, is no different than the person who scours every incident in order to find racism.

Your "angry white man" act, as others have pointed out, is the same kind of faux-outrage victimhood you claim to despise.
