At least he is changing the zombie concept in ways more interesting than the guys who re-released the original.
He does. It is. You are.
I'm not a huge Romero/zombie guy or anything, but his social metaphors have been pretty well documented. It goes all the way back to the original Night of the Living Dead, where the black man is shot through the window by the white guy, who just assumes he's a zombie trying to attack the white woman inside.
