first of all everyone is racist or against a stereotype by nature. don't believe me? for example IF, I repeat IF ...If the MC is set as a pedophile/communist then people who dislike the idea of a pedophile MC will have a hard time reading the writing. So this type of writing will limit the range of audience who can read your story. like me I am really against putting a certain race/country as MC's background. It really hurts me to imagine a hero/villain that wobbles his head as means of communicating because this is almost a fact as 99% of Indians do that as it is their culture. When you as a writer decide to use a certain race/country that has a stereotype you must understand that 'stereotype' exist and how it can effect the reader's experience. Just imagine if the MC is transmigrate to bollywood universe and he is a half-vietnamese , where his father is indian but his Vietnamese mother is set as a control freak with traditions. I highly doubt that it will attract any in indian readers because of the difference in culture.
