Can somebody explain why people call Resident Evil 5 racist for having you shoot black people when 4 has you gunning down tons of Mexicans?

Well you're racist because in 4 you're killing Spanish people, not Mexican. Big difference.
I think the unsaid reason people are upset about 5 is that it depicts(correctly) nig nogs as tribal people with spears, not that you're just killing Africans.

This trailer sparked it

Not a single spear chucker. This is just revisionist history so that the retarded faggots who cried racism over nothing don't have to either back down or admit that they were retarded faggots.
>It was the spear chucking, you see!
No it wasnt, own your virtue signaling.

Everytime someone says this I immediately know they didn't play the game or read the lore. There's a book you can find someone in the tribe wrote that after coming into contact Tricell, all the villagers started acting strange. Putting on ancestral warpaint and picking up spears and shields. It's almost as if they were being mindcontrolled to take up arms and armour or something. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THAT'S WHAT LAS PLAGAS DOES TO YOU IT LITERALLY HAPPENED IN THE LAST GAME WITH A BUNCH OF SPANIARDS PUTTING ON HELMETS AND WALKING AROUND WITH MEDIEVAL FLALS YOU FUCKING OVERSENSTIIVE MEDIA ILLITERATE FUCK NOODLES

The rage started after the first trailer, which only featured villagers and not the warriors. They also hadn't put in the different races of people yet so it was mostly just black people you were shooting in the first trailer. The lighter skinned people they added were possible a result of the backlash

I love how no one acknowledges that Sheva is right, killing africans along with you, AND all the main bad guys are hwite. Wesker, Excella, Jill (sorta), even fucking Irving. This whole game is the white man's fault. This whole franchise is the white man's fault because of Spencer (Or Miranda if you're cringe)

Nigger worship is the state religion of the United States. In no other country on Earth are white men and women throwing themselves into the bullets of immigration enforcement agents for the sake of protecting niggers.

Wrong, the Le Racism pearl-clutching over RE5 started as soon as the first gameplay reveals depicted chris in africa. None of the promotional material showed the tribal zombies that you encounter later in the game. The people screaming that african enemies in a game set in africa is racist didn't even know about the tribals.
And even if we assume the outright was about the tribals... so what? There's no actual reason why depicting africans in traditional african garb is racist. It's like saying the spanish ganados in RE4 who have reverted to dressing like medieval monks and inquisitors is a culturally insensitive depiction of spanish culture.

It's a combination of these but I feel that most of the 'outrage' was spread by game journalists for clicks. Game was released around the beginning of a lot of the activist faggotry that would later plague games up to this day.

RE4 and RE5 is a double standard at play. You can kill Europeans as a white guy but not Africans. Same reason you can kill Nazis in games but not subhuman, sandnigger terrorists in Iraq or Iran or Diarrheastan. Because you might offend some liberal leftists who act offended on behalf of everyone else.

It's a bit more of a nuanced issue desu.
In RE4 it's clear that the Ganados were a bunch of Amish weirdos living out in the middle of nowhere even before the Plagas appeared. It's not saying Spain is a backwards country only that this specific village is and this is made even more clear by you being accompanied by two regular Spanish cops at the beginning.
Whereas RE5 takes place in a major metropolitan area that is a total shithole (infested by warlords) and they're surrounded by literal spear chuckers living in grass huts and Aztec ruins. The beginning of RE5 has a "normal" part as well where you see regular dudes beating animals to death in a bag and eating rotting meat. It's a VERY negative and stereotypical portrayal of Africa and I get why people were upset with it once the game released. But most of the journos who reacted to the initial trailers had no context for the full game and were just farming for clicks.
With that said, I love these niggas like you wouldn't believe. Some of the spookiest RE designs and they'd sadly be cut in a remake.

Maybe I'm wrong about this but these guys aren't meant to be infected yet, right? They don't attack you.
I agree that it's supposed to be creepy but if these guys aren't Majini yet that only reinforces their negative portrayal. It's not Majini making them eat rotting meat or beat animals to death. That's literally what they were doing moments before infection.

I'm not saying the portrayal is completely wrong only that it's a broad generalization that the game applies to all of Africa that is based on the stereotypical idea of Africa. And it did not do the same with Spain in RE4. (again, makes it clear this village is for weirdos and isn't normal)
It would be like making a zombie game that pretends it's the entirety of the USA (say it puts the USA on the cover art) but takes place mostly in a trailer park and a swamp.
