Simple answer: Races/Species can be treated as Villains as a whole when the Creators/Writers make and present them that way. And we are supposed to go by how the Creatives tell us what their world(s) and characters are.
 * For example, in Star Trek TOS, Klingons were written as "all were 'evil'". They were always the antagonists and villains of the stories, and that was how the writers presented each and every character encountered to the viewers. That was just the mindset of that show's era and has changed in the decades since.


 * In *Titan AE* the Drej are also presented as a whole as Villains.

The longer answer: You're correct that labeling entire races/species out of hand as evil and wicked villains is "politically incorrect". Especially if there is even ONE individual which is an exception.

So you raise a good point. Certainly this wikia is in the process of trimming out most of the categories which are Race/Species with just a few labeling exceptions (Aliens, Demons, Angels… basically "very much *not* human or of this world"—"Humanoid" is a descriptive, not a race).

And I agree that in most cases a Rank alone should not be enough to count.

However, the main determinate needs to be how the Creative envisioned, built, and presented their story/franchise's world to us. It is not the place of we as an audience to second-guess that of the Storytellers.

Still, feel free to list links to articles you feel should be re-considered.
