    Now, by now, I'm sure you all know of the controversy surrounding RE5 by now. Your main character is Chris Redfield, a white American, who goes to Africa. Your main enemies are zombies, who are all African. Many people find this racist as you are a buff white person, who goes around shooting African zombies. Personally, considering they don't function like human beings, and are trying to myrderize you, then it technically isn't racist. But, heres the thing, what if the roles were reversed, and kinda altered, like you play as a black character, like Hunk, shooting infected people in The UK? Do you guys think killing zombies that were once of another race is racist?
