Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.
Well OP, perhaps the reason is that, outside of reality, there are only two forms of fiction.
1. Fantasy
2. Sci-Fi
Fantasy was the first fiction of the two, but that was much before our time, before film or video games, closer to the middle ages and Shakespearian times.
It was heavily used and is why so many of our classic fictional writings are works of Fantasy.
Now, Science Fiction is all the rage in the recent centuries. Why? Well simply because one cannot have Science Fiction without science, a study of our world that until the recent 1900's was not a very advanced practice.
Now that science in the 1900's and the 2000's is constantly changing and advancing, we are much closer to how it feels and the idea of what we can do in the future, making for great predicational stories, where as the idea of Fantasy and "magic" have become increasingly less credible with the advancement of technologies.
TL;DR
Everyone knows that magic is fake and that someday we'll go to space and that's cooler than magic.
P.S. And honestly, who wants to play another goddamn WWII game? Check please!
