While reading Robin R. Means Coleman's "Black Sitcom Portrayals," I could not help but to think about a video game that came out about three years ago. It is called Resident Evil 5 and I remember reading about it on multiple video game blogs. People were blogging about how they found the video game trailer very racist towards the black community. The trailer shows a black community as the bad guys, and it shows how they turn into zombies. On the other hand, the white people in the video game trailer are portrayed as the good army guys who are going to kill all the black people because they are bad zombies. This is not the first time people have been outraged about a video game. It is almost always on the same subject though…black people are being portrayed as the bad guys. It goes along with many stereotypes that are not only incorrect, but are also morally wrong.
