The Boys, for an example that comes to mind on the racial point, has a lot of anti-conservative messaging and mockery, to labeling the right Nazis and fascists to us being the violent and racist ones, etc.
Spoilers ahead for anyone who actually cares.
Soldier Boy, a Captain America stand-in for the story, was a war hero that the world praised, but was captured by Russians during the Vietnam war (I think it was Vietnam) and tortured for years.
He didn't age due to his powers, and when he was set free he was taken aback by Afghanistan being the enemy because they used to be "the good guys", and called Bill Cosby America's dad.
Then they go and call him racist in a final confrontation with him, because he accidentally killed one of the characters' family members. There is no real reason for it, no dialogue really backing it up, no real confrontation or even racial undertones to set that up.
Just, they didn't like him and his rougher and more masculine attitude and the accident in his past, and that was enough to justify him being racist.
That's the kind of people making media nowadays. Even in pop culture.
Everyone is racist, everyone is bad, even if they love a black man and Arabs.
I mean the propaganda is in full swing still.
