Regardless of Color, They’re All Zombies on the Inside
The New York Times has posted a video game review for Resident Evil 5, the latest entry in Capcom’s genre-founding series. Less of a review and more of a commentary on the controversy surrounding the game’s African setting, Schiesel does an eloquent job of pointing out the simple fact that those swept up in the allegedly racist content could not seem to see: there were white and Hispanic zombies long before there were African zombies in the series, and all of them required the same treatment.
