There's nothing remotely racist about RE5. That was a result of silly people just trying to be controversial.
In my opinion, 5 is the same game as 4, bar none. Yet for some reason, nobody said Leon shooting the Spanish speaking people in 4 was in any way racist, because they're going to glorify that game to the bitter end. So I'd just chalk it up to people being hypocritical as always.
I don't like first person either. If they are going to introduce other characters and hide their face so you cannot even sway the camera to "get a look" at him or her, then I'm done.
Two games of that is too much already.
