Racism and Zombies!

This is one of the more interesting news pieces I've seen about race and a video game lately. Is this racist, or is it just because of the location of the game's story? (This post relates to the recent controversy over Resident Evil 5).

And for those of us who played Resident Evil 4, is this any different than the racial stereotypes that are included in that game? (For example, the rural Spanish-speaking Eastern European zombies).
