It’s funny when you realize that RE is partially meant as a Japanese homage to American horror+action movies and the first (non-cutscene) death is Kenneth, a black guy. So it would just be holding up a mirror to our own cultural atmosphere at the time.

I’m sure if the cultural warriors lived back then, they would have manufactured a story about how Capcom making a black supporting character who doesn’t instantly die in RE2 (Marvin) was because they were worried about offending the wokes.
