Racist Zombies!! part 2

Yesterday's post was an old article from about a year ago. Today's will be why.

The article was complaining about how Resident Evil 5 was a racist game because of the fact the Zombies you kill were once African. Now, I have several answers to this. Go!

          1. You don't kill African people in Res 5, in fact you don't kill people in any resident evil game. They are zombies, or more correctly, infected. Infected have no race, they are just infected. White, black, brown, green, grey, dripping with acid, or with a long tounge. 
          2. The game isn't and will never be marketed towards kids. It's marketed towards mid-late teens and 20s. If a parent buys a rated M for Mature game for their child(under 12) then they need to accept the responsibility for what may come of this. If they don't know, they need to do the research! Developers, publishers, and or distributors should never be held responsible for the game getting into the hands of kids. If the parent buys playboy for a 10 year old, and then is disgusted by the content, it's their fault, not playboy's.
         3. If the zombies weren't black the game couldn't take place in Africa. This is do to the fact that Africa has quite a few BLACK PEOPLE! Thus the majority of the zombies will have dark skin. I don't recall you throwing a RACE fit when Whitey was killing hundreds of Spanish villagers. Oh Spanish people are white? Say that to a Latino and see what happens.

So, now people are saying the same thing about Left 4 Dead 2! WTF! Did we learn nothing?
According to the Houstin Chronicle "racism is becoming a common trend in video games".
No it's not, but stupidity is.
Left 4 dead had no black zombies, not a one. It took place in Philidelphia. I think it's reasonable to have black zombies in Louisiana, and New Orleans no less. It's not insensitive, it's not racist, it's fun zombie shooting action.
