Paradoxical. On one side, many gaming boards forbid any political discussion, but injecting games with political agenda and propaganda is A-OK. Hypocrisy truly has become paramount.
RE5 racist? Looked at through a lense it most propably was to some.
Some time ago i watched a Twiligth episode on youtube. The Paladin of the Lost Hour. Had a older white guy and a middle aged black man as protagonists. I read the comments at one point. And one said "racist trash".
Dude creates a Steam Curator page showing the games SBI worked on, was subsequently harrassed by employees of SBI, Valve told them to kick rocks and wouldn't shut down the Curator page, and the Streisand effect of SBI trying to negate the damage blew it up. Hell, even the GDC footage is hilarious, and she tried to immediately pass off as a joke about intimidating developers.
The fact that GS don't want to cover it isn't all that surprising.

As for the topic of RE5 being racist, I can see people construing it as such. Nothing wrong with that, but at this point, everything is offensive to someone. Gaming journalists being in the upper echelon.
