You know how notch tweeted the hard r a while back?
I'm pretty sure that he was racist before that.
Why is that? Villagers and endermen.
First up: Villagers, as someone who is very ethnically Jewish, I've noticed a lot of similarities between villagers and generalizations about Jews. First up: that nose, Jews are generalized as having big noses, due to what I call "Jew nose" which makes our noses look a little more... Let's say bumpy, villagers have very big noses as well. Also there is the fact that all villagers keep their hands together, similar to a racial caricature of a Jew. Also, villagers are greedy and can't wait to rip you off. Just like a stereotype of a jew.
Wanna know a fun fact? Golems are actually a part of Jewish folklore, meant to protect the innocent from those who would harm them. Similar to how a Minecraft golem protects villagers. The poppy that is often dropped by iron golems is likely a reference to how poppy seeds are very big in Jewish cuisine.
Next up, endermen. I am going to say right now that I am not black, and I don't want to look like I codone these stereotypes, I'm just saying that they exist.
OK, endermen are tall black dudes that steal things, can't swim and if you look at them they beat you up. Similar to the stereotype of black men. The end dimension is set up like a cul-de-sac in the hood. Compare the two and you will see.
That's my two sense, again, I don't believe any of these stereotypes, so don't get mad at me in the comments, go yell at notch.

I thought golems and them dropping poppies were a reference to the movie castle in the sky by ghibli, but that makes sense too
