Is the game racist or not?

[ZyPHeR_0]

have u even played the game?

to my eyes the game isn't racist at all, the only reason that u kill Africans is the setting of the game, nothing more

It is set in Africa. If the majority of the enemies weren't black, then it would be racist for forcing ethnicities not even living there just to appease some SJWs.
At any rate, the base enemy composition is varied enough, since they threw in some Northern Africans and even some Asians to the mobs, despite the game taking place in what is almost surely Kenya (it is never named), where in reality ~99% of the population is black.

There is some undertone in racism once you get tot he enemy tribe that still dances around in grass skirts and shakes wooden spears at you, but I consider that part some leftover assets from Uncharted, used up here instead. (And let's face it, there aren't many more racist games than the Uncharted series.)

I always found it strange though that this game carries the stigma of potential racism, whereas when in RE6 we pretty much massacre gigantic mobs who are nothing but Chinese with the whitest characters ever created, not even the Chinese were complaining about it.

Seems like a middle eastern type guy. Thats when i got suspicious about the game being racist actually.

[talgaby]

Yeah, although I would have said that model is Northern African. There is also one who has rather Asian facial features as well. But they are just the town Majini models. The tribals and the militias will be purely black.

It was accused of being racist long before release when ignorant people didn't know what the game was actually about. They just saw an American guy killing "people" in Africa and said "Buuu this is racism".

It's not. First because you never kill "people" in the main RE games, you kill infected victims that have already turned into bloodthirsty zombies/monsters, so they're pretty much already dead, they're not human anymore.

Second, you kill infecteds in Africa just like you kill infected Spanish villagers in RE4, Americans in RE1-RE3, and Chinese in RE6. In RE you allways shoot whatever has been infected and turned into a zombie or something like that, and one of the games happen to take place in an African country, that's all.

This game is about as racist as Mortal Kombat when you pick a White fighter against Jax (A Black Guy).

No racism at all. The game was created before the SJW hippies took over the industry.

Anything is racist if you take it the wrong way. This game isn't racist in the slightest

[Dusk of Oolacile]

Hopefully yes. People who get offended by anything deserve to be offended.

I remember when they were previewing this game and people started claiming all kinds of racism crap. How dare we butcher swarms of black people...even though it takes place in Africa. Then there's the theory that the only reason Sheva exists was to try and calm down the people by having a black team mate. There was a lot of BS that took place with this game but it's not racist in the slightest. There's nothing being said to insult anyone and nothing ever happens that infringes on a person's culture or anything, and that is what racism is.

If a person wants to be picky then they could complain about the primitive tribe you encounter about halfway through. There still is indigenous people in Africa but I can see how maybe some people could complain about that. But it's still not racism. If anything it's just a stereotype.
