Quote :: Set in an African nation teeming with undead monsters, the latest in the acclaimed horror series has been accused of promoting racist imagery by featuring a white protagonist killing hordes of black zombies. Despite the controversy, the game has already shipped over 4 million units worldwide.

Now I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the 'Resident Evil' games, but this is another prime example of 'political-correctness-gone-mad'.

Hmm... ok then, a 'zombie' video-game set in 'Africa'. Of course there are going to be loads of black (oh, sorry, I meant 'coloured' Laughing

) zombies you ****ing stupid ********!

Yes coloured is deemed offensive, it's a horrible term. And I think people have taken it out of context..

Calling a black person 'black' is like calling me 'white'.

I don't mind aslong as you're not saying it in a bad way Smile
