arent these zombies only black because its central africa? if it was south africa you could have the zombies being white or whatever.
i really dont see what the problem is, you set the game in nepal and the zombies would be nepalese or maybe Tibetan, you set it in india the zombies would be indian, its set in africa so they are african, i dont see it as racist, this just seems like a bunch of people with no day jobs and/or lifes who want to complain about something for no good reason.
should i complain about dwarves in fantasy because they somewhat in a way label scottish people as short tempered shorties who like nothing better than splitting skulls open with axes and smashing ale mugs over tables/people's heads.
i mean (nearly) every dwarf in modern fantasy sounds scottish, Gimli Gloinson, Korgan Bloodaxe, Muradin Bronzebeard, dwarven rifleman, dwarven mortar team etc.

well i think the sorc is kinda middle eastern (either that or she has a realy nice tan). and yes race is only an issue to people afraid of being labeled racist, or to people that like to make a fuss. white on black crime nearly non existant anymore (its more black on black crime nowadays). looking at things from a legal perspective racist opinions are completely legal and passable to the fcc (as long as no "bad words" are used), so wat give these people the right to maim people like imus and all those sports cometators that got kicked for a simple slip of the tounge or mind?

I remember people somewhere complaining about Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, in which the main character is a blonde haired blue eyed young boy. very aryan, and thats what got people going.
oh yeh like LOZ is about the supposed super race, its about balance between 3 forces, Power, Wisdom and Courage he who hows all three in balance holds the key to prosperity, he who doesnt hold all 3 in balance will plunge the land into darkness, yeh thats got heaps to do with aryans.

Getting off topic now, but seeing as this thread is turning into a rant about ethnic groups/racism/political correctness i thought id just say this.
Alot of businesses/corporations like to say that they "employ people from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds", and then go on to say "we view everyone as equals and should be treated as equals"
What they're really saying is "we employ various peoples from different cultures because we view all these people from different cultures as actually being different from each other, otherwise we wouldn't employ different types of people because we also believe that everyone is exactly the same..."
Would be nice if someone could enlighten me on how this logic actually works because it doesn't seem to make sense to me...
I think it's funny how people still complain about racism and whatnot. IMO if everyone just stopped complaining about it, it would go away. I think the only reason some people are racist against blacks nowadays is because of the people that freely use the N word with eachother, but nobody else can say it, or even the fuckin retarded ass people that are racist against white people just because were white. What the fuck is up with that shit...
...Maybe I'll try to get a "United Power"(yes united, not white, not black, not any other damn color, United) rally going sometime, over the internet of something. To stop all the fucking idiotism which results in racism.
my blackie freinds say the reason that alot of black people despise us is that they feel like white people keep them down(i think we kinda do look at suburbs vs ghettos), so they have to compensate by having something that whitey cant have(N) its kinda like the poor hating the rich in that they are kinda jealous but they hate our guts (but the majority of blacks dont really hate us). and some black ppl dont like us cuz we act like dorks and dont have ne soul or groove or w/e.

That's ridiculous. We do no such thing. Funny thing is, when it comes down to it, I have the disadvantage. If I were to apply for a scholarship along with a black person with the same exact qualifications, who do you think is going to get that scholarship? Not me.
Same with jobs. Things have been done to make things more fair and in the process, not only did it fix "oppression," it actually gave white folks, the ones fighting for fairness, a disadvantage.
Affirmative action should be abolished and the only thing that should make a difference is qualifications, not race OR sex.

i agree that we do absolutely no such thing. segragation exists because people are just more comfortable around people of the same ethnicty... that will probably never change.
and lets not forget how great racism is for the economy... so thats not going anywhere either

wiki says: Affirmative action refers to policies intended to promote access to education or employment aimed at a historically socio-politically non-dominant group (typically, minorities or women). Motivation for affirmative action policies is to redress the effects of past discrimination and to encourage public institutions such as universities, hospitals and police forces to be more representative of the population.
I don't see why they need extra promotion, it justs need to be completely equal to all citizens of the country.
Because sometimes its the average Joe who misses out because someone who's less capable that him just happens to be a different color or something like that.
In the UK.. i think it was the UK. They've started to promote homosexuals in the ranks of the police force, deliberately because they believe the police force is "not representative of the population" when it comes to sexuality. (Correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure it was the U.K)
True. Qualifications to job or scholarship should be the only legitimate reason for acceptance.
yea it suck that i cant get on medicaid either cuz im white and live with my parents... who make would it considered by the state to be decent money i suppose

alot of poor black people stay poor because of the trials and tribulations involved with livin in da ghetto, say for a example a family is making a good living on a single income and that person goes to jail an innocent man(sounds cleche but it happens all the time) that family is screwed. in the ghetto if u dont have a car(many dont) you either have to deal or find a job in the ghetto, and demand for jobs in the ghetto isnt that great. so the problem is the ghetto itself, and who originaly segregated blacks into the ghettos? see its all perspective if you actually knew what went on in the ghetto you would understand. my friends think white people are secretivly racist (in some cases yes but not the majority) but if they knew what went on in the white america they wouldnt be so bias to think we are all racists. Its a big misunderstanding, at the root lies the media showing crimes in the in the black community, white ppl start to grow an opinion that black ppl are violent criminals (when infact they are just trying to survive), then black ppl grow an opinion of white ppl being racist because of their opinion(which the media gave them). i hope i clearified some what my opinions (for they are only that, OPINIONS) i belive them to be true but that agian is perspective... and you really cant trust perspective can you?

Well remember too that most policies are varied by how much your household income is. Rich people get taxed two to three times more than the regular family.

Could you imagine all the arguments that would happen if that game came out
