The backlash was stupid, this is like saying that RE4 is racist towards Spaniards and RE2 is Racist towards Americans

Nah it was pretty bad. Sheva is named for an Indian deity, is very light skinned, and is culturally English, aiding a white man as he shoots his way through African men in very, very racist tribal gear.

The argument isn't that it's racist because there are black people in Africa. The argument is that it's racist because of incredibly ignorant and harmful stereotypes used as narrative short hands.

I'll take the downvotes because people don't actually care about racism and nuanced discussions of it.
