Removing \\\"TV Tropers seem to feel that if a villain is white, they\\\'re just a normal BigBad, but that if a villain is any other race, the writers are treating that entire race as if it was on the AcceptableEthnicTargets list.\\\" because Christ on a bike, \\\'\\\'no\\\'\\\', check you godamned white fucking privilege.
Hollywood has a decades-long standing history of promoting racism and xenophobia, wilfully turning minorities and people of colour into stereotypes, evil caricatures and villains. Russophobia, Sinophobia, Islamophobia still run rampant in every medium and form. It\\\'s not just that piece of work portraying ScaryBlackMan and YellowPeril that makes it problematic, it\\\'s the \\\'\\\'accumulated history of entertainment\\\'\\\' riding on its back. One of the reasons this trope is so prevalent is because creators, writers, showrunners, etc., are well aware of negative portrayals of POCs and are going ass-over-elbows to avoid it. It\\\'s not the best way to go about things, but with racial history the way it is, it\\\'s better than Jive-talking black people breaking into your house, or Engrish-speaking Chinese looking to take over the world.
