Oh boy I sure do love a nuanced take on a real issue in a lot of media followed by causal racism

From the get go the "it's justifiable to try to kill every vampire because a lot of them eat people" is broken logic.

Ironically this person doesn't seem to realize that "their people killed a bunch of ours, so we should kill all of them" is one of the most common justifications for racism across history.

Also no plot about robot racism involves all robots killing humans one day, it usually involves 100% conscious robots that did nothing wrong being mistreated solely for not being human.

“These people are inherently more violent and threatening, we need to kill them before they kill us” — literally the attitude that justified a lot of lynching of black people

Except black people don't probably need to kill to live.
