Aka, Dungeons and Dragons and all things now woke.
Even a lot of anime is depicting demons and just another fantasy race whom are being persecuted by humans, mainly because of jealousy that they live longer and are innately better with magic. You know, just making them eleves.
The "good exception from a bad race" is probably one of the most overused tropes in any story. Drizzt is one of the most famous examples in D&D and not only spawned various other "actually I'm a good Drow" OCs, but then similar exceptions in other inherently and historically evil races.
Once or twice and written well it's fine, but neither of those conditions are met now.
