Remember all the “Resident Evil is racist!” talk from a month or so ago, about how some people who shall not be named on this site got all up-in-arms when they saw the trailer to Resident Evil 5? How they cried racism because Chris Redfield (a honkey) was shown killing zombified black people?
Well, you can stop the cries of racism, because Kotaku is reporting that Resident Evil 5 will be taking place in the birthplace of zombism, Haiti…
…because apparently the video game industry didn’t learn anything the last time they messed with the Haitians.
