Valve on Racism Accusations

Destructoid has some hands-on Left 4 Dead 2 impressions in advance of a full preview based on a trip to Valve. They also have a reaction from Left 4 Dead writer Chet Faliszek to a recent editorial accusing L4D2 of racism. Here's part: "Utter insanity," says Faliszek. "There are mixed races of zombies, there are all different races of zombies that you shoot, and since we placed it in New Orleans, that makes it racist? I honestly re-read the paragraph about five times ... but when two of the characters in your game are African-American, it's a weird thing to be accused of. We're like, 'how does this work?'"

good fucking christ, this hypersensitivity over race and other supposed special interest "offenses" needs to stop.

I've been keeping an eye on various forum comments on different newspapers regarding the Gates case and whats clear is theres a white backlash starting to make itself known. Its exactly this kind of nitpicking garbage looking for racism where it doesn't exist that is holding back any kind of meaningful advancement of race relations in this country.

People like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson shoulder some of the blame but the worst offenders are the media and minority and/or ultra leftist bloggers who know quite well that hot-button topics like this will drive traffic to their site (Resident Evil 5 anyone?).

Half the time I'll avoid these kind of stories because I know it'll drive my blood pressure thru the roof..... Furious2
