It’s a viewpoint, but I’m very skeptical.
IMO it is perfectly reasonable to contextualize a fictional race by the creators and the time it was created. Intentional ignorance and choosing to ignore reality never sit well with me. I’m more in the “those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it” camp myself.
"Eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind", and all that. Surely there is a better way.
A Character Type is different than a Caricature, which is Specifically when one is representing a Specific Person or Peoples.
When there is no such intent and is not based explicitly in such prior art, such characters are just that purely imaginary characters with zero bearing on real world racism.
Enough with the bs.
There's the creator's intent which can't really be known. Then there's the observer's interpretation which is equally valid.
You're Presuming based on your Prejudices aka Pre-Judging.
