One of the thorniest issues when it comes to analysing media from a social justice perspective is the concept of portraying prejudice and bigotry. After all, bigotry exists, bigoted people exist, at some point we’ll expect some bigoted characters showing up.

And that’s not a bad thing - in fact, erasing prejudice and pretending it doesn’t

It also just seems to suggest that the writers have no idea how to portray minorities without that bigotry, like they can't exist without it and they'd have no discerning character traits. Lazy lazy writing.
