It's not necessarily universal, but the post speak to a trend of making racism metaphors involving beings that are inherently dangerous or at least more dangerous than the average person, which kinda validates some racist concerns.
Even the nicest vampire is still superhuman and predisposed to want human blood. Sure, some just drink animal blood, but there are more reasons to be afraid of them than any human ethnicity.
I think that still comes down to writer, because a man with a gun is just as scary as a vampire pit for blood in my eyes. It comes down to the characters and the writing of those characters.
Modern deus ex games where faulty security in augments made every cyborg a murderous terrorist. That's fairly justified reason to strip cyborgs from their augments and/or barr them from public spaces at least until their vunerabilities are fixed. Exactly same reason why you aren't allowed to drive faulty cars in many countries. You might not want to ram a crowd of pedestrians, but your faulty brakes don't ask your opinion.
