Resident Evil 5
Ozymandias:
Actually, I mean.
Why the fuck isn't there an RE set in Asia?
Maybe they are racist. I've been sitting here killing white people for like, 13 years now, you assholes.
Chesire Cat:
Because they simply make more comical than scary enemies. I mean, maybe it could've just been the lame game design, but Crisis was a total joke.

Okay but the way that one game treats Africa is important? Come on dude, there's a reason for this debate. Historically, Africa has been treated as a dark continent full of savagery and its inhabitants have frequently been portrayed either as dumb and easily cowed or dumb and inhumanly vicious. Either the noble savage or the wild animal. It's disingenuous to suggest that this can just be ignored. Narrative representations of Africa in the 21st century have to take this historical portrayal of the region and its people into account.
This is really a basic post-colonial conceit.

allegedly
it's entirely possible that humanity started out in a different location but those that migrated to africa were the only ones that survived for some reason

No, not allegedly. There are competing theories that homo sapiens sapiens, our particular subspecies, arose outside of Africa, but all the theories agree that homo sapiens (humans) evolved in Africa and from there migrated to the rest of the world. The DNA and fossil evidence for this is incontrovertible. Even among the competing theories of H. sapiens sapiens, the one for African origin has the most support and evidence behind it.
