>It's 2008, and Resident Evil 5 is coming out soon
>Trailer shows Chris Redfield gunning down non-descript zombie Africans.
>People calling Capcom racist
>N'Gai Croal: "Wow, clearly no one black worked on this game."
>Bob quickly runs defense for his beloved Japanese company
>Bob: "It's not racist cuz Japan is doing it"
>Muh cultural dissonance and shit
>I mean most people didn't even see or think it was racist, and that's a good thing
>That means most people didn't see skin color at all, and that doesn't make them racist
>Bob then does a 180
° and begins to defend N'Gai Croal.
>But What's really racist is the hate you gamers are giving him
>Dude's only voicing an opinion (which I disagree with)
>The real bad guys are probably white anyway
>Bob then turns the argument again onto how ignorant white people are
>White people, You can't just say to Blacks that racism is gone, because it's never gonna go away
>Segregation and Racism as we once knew may be gone in the US but the lingering effects still remain
>And those lingering effects are felt by Blacks in the US everyday
>It's bad that blacks think they will never be equal in the US
>But it's worse that white people think that blacks are being overdramatic
>In the end, that's not to say the US is slowly getting better with race relations, but it still has LONG way to go.
>END
Overall still a decent episode to watch if you like Bob fumbling over race politics. I'm never brave or smart enough for politics to say much. I'll just say that Bob is stupid and said that Africa is a Country. In the Next episode, Bob acts like 14 year old tumblr girl and rants about video games characters and their romantic relationships.
