I remember the late 90's saw a trend of making bad guys in movies Chinese instead of Russian like they typically were previously. It probably would have continued well into today, but 9/11 made it so the bad guys were now middle eastern.
I don't watch live action shows much, but in animated shows the antagonists seem to usually be cishet white men, unless they're destined to join the protagonists, in which case they can be diverse.
The cartoon villain I remember most in the 90's was a giant, sentient brain from another dimension. 🤷🏻♂️
You mean like Vegeta?
Or Zuko? Or Kevin Levin? Or Lloyd Garmadon? Or Hunter Belos? Or Doofenshmirtz?
Most of those seem to be white men, yes, although Zuko also fits into the second category of 'destined to join the protagonists'. I would also add Aaravos and that other guy from The Dragon Prince
