More Hints Of Racism From Japanese Survival Horrors?

If you weren't already aware, Resident Evil 5 is being panned by critics as an exercise in anti-black propaganda, determined to spread racist sentiment throughout the gaming world by awarding points for the extermination of black zombies and bonus points for the curing of white zombies.

As shocking as that may seem, the latest instalment of Sony exclusive 'Forbidden Siren 3' appears to be continuing this trend.


A man stabbing a woman in the midriff with a knife - probably a botched abortion, nothing peculiar about that. Hang on... what's that on the wall there?


It is racism!

What at first appears to be little more than a victimless parody of the Jackson 5, actually turns out to be more sinister, the description in the Japanese text calling the men '3 nice afros'. Not that they have 3 nice afros, that they ARE 3 nice afros. Yet another example of Japanese racism sneaking into video games.

Somebody get me N'gai Croal on the line immediately!
