Resident Evil

Have you heard of the lastest installment of Resident Evil? They set it in Africa. I think at this point, it's pretty safe to assume that Resident Evil is the most racist thing on consoles today. The last resident evil was about a group of spanish-speaking occult members in Europe but whenever I think about it, the guys there looked like angry mexicans from Tijuana. Next thing you know the zombies will be asking for jobs in the village Home Depot. Que paso. Que paso. Trabaho? Yes?

After the guys down south, RE goes black. Literally. Set in an African refugee camp of sorts, the zombies you'll be fighting this time around are Africans. Yeah, right, as if these guys need any virus to turn apeshit angry and start eating righteous Americans walking around them! This kinda raises moral issues since usually zombies are out there chasing after humans because they're programmed to do that. But dare you shot a starving man in the face for wanting to eat anything (including you) in order to not starve to death? Add to that the fact that cannibalism is an existing cultural practice in that place and you'd have serious issues.

If we're to follow the trend, the next Resident Evil will probably be going some place Asian - like Thailand or some neighboring country. The zombies will be Asian and the guy doing the shooting will still be white. There's probably going to be a lot of rice and Hondas in that installment and somebody like Jasmine Trias will probably stand as boss or something.

If that happens, maybe I'll play the game - if only to laugh at the hooker zombies.
