New Resident Evil 5 Trailer

[SStrikerR]

Sweet baby jesus..you could claim almost any violent game with people in it is racism if you're that much of a jackass. It's just a game, why is it that today's society is so stupid/paranoid/racist that things like games are presumed to be racist? OMG I HATE THIS ONE BLACK KID IN MY SCHOOL, IM RACIST! KILL ME NOW!!!

She is, and there's a reason for it.

From an article on 1up:

As for Chris's new sidekick, Takeuchi claims the move wasn't inspired by the claims of racism but out of story necessity. "We wanted Chris to have a partner who was familiar with the environment. She's been in there since pretty much the beginning."

All these claims about racism make me sad. Just because they want to change the settings a bit (and want them to be as accurate as possible), they're suddenly racist. Since when do white people live in the African savanna?

Really? I would've bet anything she was Hispanic, but I guess not. Either way, it just makes it even more hilariously stupid that a magazine article I read claimed it was Claire Redfield (wtf).

EDIT: Actually, couldn't she just be a Hispanic mercenary that's familiar with the area?

That still accounts for the race bit, yeah?
