I suppose so called "political correctness" might affect a lazy writer who wishes to rely on stereotypes and caricatures. If you are going to use a 'shortcut' of ethnicity, religion, nationality, whatever to explain the evilness of your villian then you should be criticised. A well constructed villain should have his/her own personal backstory, his own inherent flaws which explain why he/she became a menace to society. And if that's what is being presented then fair enough.
