Assuming good faith in this comment... The concept of zombies comes from Haitian folklore based on a West African word. The popular concept of zombies comes from the movie Night of the Living Dead, which was a commentary on the Vietnam War. Most portrayals of zombies where there is a political or social message tend to focus on consumerism, blind faith in the government, and other "sheep"-like behaviors. I haven't seen any popular media where zombies in any way reflected an uprising of marginalized minorities.
