But discussions about colonialism are only dealt with obliquely in the game -- Chris never reflects on his position as a white male in Africa nor does he discuss race with his African partner, Sheva. The game presents only one option to survive against African zombies: kill every single one.

While 's Jun Takeuchi has repeatedly reported his stance on this issue, stating that:

There is no racial element to it at all.

Still, infected or not, I have a feeling that this subject won't be put to rest until the game's Friday release, where gamers can decide for themselves.
