TopicIGN says Resident Evil 5 can't be remade, only re-written. Because it's racist.

How is it racist? LOCAL villagers are infected and they happen to be black. By that logic wouldnt RE4 be racist since protagonist is American and ganado are all spaniards? Sure, the optics are problematic since you have an all white, American hero killing Africans, but that stems from our own real world racial problems through history. The real problematic thing were the native guys.

At the end they added people of every color to the game and Capcom bowed to never make decisions like this again without consulting Capcom of America.
RE5 is one of my favorite games. Nothing about it is inherently racist. there are no racial stereotypes that i encountered where i thought damn, das racist. IGN are simply a bunch of weak minded journos with little to no real world experience besides their feelings to guide them.

However RE5 should be tweaked to make it more survival horror than action-based.
