Japanese culture is notorious for racism against black people. Painted with a broad brush Japanese culture is notoriously xenophobic. You'll see similarly fucked depictions of Africans in a lot of anime. I assume Resident Evil 5 was Japanese racism and stereotypes towards Africans being expressed and not directly connected to the American Zombie Chud phenomena.

I dont won't to be an ass, but did you mean Resi 5? Also, while I agree with you overall, I will say the game could've worked if they leaned more into the colonization angle that's present in it. The main bad guy is a blonde white guy with a fetish for wearing black leather and making people "superior", iirc, all he's missing is a red armband. He's allied himself with a corporate white lady who's completely fine with his experimentation on the local people of the area her company has taken land from and built factories on, as well as morally bankrupt arms dealer Steve Buscemi.

Hopefully, when they remake 5, they'll push that idea more into the mainplot instead of just finding it in optional notes through out the games. They can still have the notes to flesh it out a little, just have Wesker talk about how using a populace of "globally unimportant peoples" allowed them to carry out their experimentation with less concern of being noticed. Have Sheva talk more about her personal experiences while befriending Chris during the game, like what they did with Ashley ReRE 4. If they want to be a little more on the nose, they could have random bsaa members in the game express how "unhappy" they are to be in Africa.

It has potential, but it depends on how willing they are to make chuds mad at them for being woke.

Edit: also, please remove the huts and grass skirts section of the game. Like, just, why would you put that in there?

I think it was 5 with the racist African depictions, not 6.

The Resi games were good before they became action games
