Alternet the uninformed and crazy seems to extend beyond Jack Thompson

The article on Alternet can be found here.
The article talks about how Resident Evil Extinction is a racist movie based on a racist video game series.
Well, this is an interesting statement because up until Resident Evil 4 there were only white people in Resident Evil. So I guess the Japanese developers are racist against white people. As a white person, I don't mind...
Resident Evil 4 took place in a Spanish village and area which pretty much makes it impossible not to have Spanish speaking zombies. Just like if it took place in a German village; the villagers would be speaking German. Not really racist right?
Finally, in Resident Evil Extinction there are African Americans among the zombies but very few are really seen on screen at once, if much at all. Perhaps I'm too racial ignorant because I didn't notice it at all. I do remember seeing a large number of white people as zombies, as I expected.
At the very least Roberto Lovato was being ignorant and inflammatory in this article. Personally, it just seems like a reaction to the allegations that Resident Evil 5's trailer was racist. Which hasn't gotten much traction. Therefore, we need to move on to the next thing that seems like the same thing. Which many alarmists and people like the infamous Jack Thompson like to do. These people usually have a loud voice and a good place to use that voice.
I hope Mr. Lovato will do more research on his stories before he writes them. As journalists it is our responsibility to get all the FACTS before we write a story. It strikes me that Mr. Lovato hasn't ever played Resident Evil, any of them. And probably didn't even bother to watch any of the Resident Evil movies, where African Americans and Hispanic Americans have been supporting cast members. These are token roles, but then video games movies usually equal a token role for minorities. That might be an issue to address, but I doubt it would have the same inflammatory impact that the current article has on his readers.
In the end, I just want to say that these are Japanese made games and they have no concept of racism. The movies ARE made by Americans but I do think that much care is taken in Hollywood to try and make everything politically correct. But all of the criticism would be fine with me; if they were valid. Or if the comments were coming along with proof from the games and films. But that seems to be too much work. I just hope Mr. Lovato never tries to write that kind of fluff for a major news outlet because his editor would be all over him. When a journalist writes a story on the internet it should be taken just as seriously as if it was in a newspaper or magazine. These kinds of stories give a black eye to all the people struggling to be taken seriously in the world of mass media. Thanks Roberto Lovato for making my job harder...
