BBFC: "Resident Evil 5 is niet racistisch"

Stefan (Nebo)

Gisteren kwam de British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) al in het nieuws vanwege de opstand tegen seks in games. Vandaag doet Sue Clark haar woordje over de volgens velen racistische taferelen in Resident Evil 5. BBFC neemt racisme erg serieus en oordeelt daarom heel kritisch als het gaat om racisme. Toch zien ze in Resident Evil 5 geen probleem. Sue Clark zegt er het volgende over:

"In the version [of the scene] submitted to the BBFC there is only one man pulling the blonde woman in from the balcony, and I can't say the skimpiness of her dress impressed itself on me. The single man is not black either. As the whole game is set in Africa it is hardly surprising that some of the characters are black, just like the fact that some of the characters in an earlier version were Spanish as the game was set in Spain."
