The inhuman-barbaric-monstrous-cannonfodder Other trope is very common in fantasy/horror/sci-fi as well as... I don't know if there's a word for the genre... those often-19th-century adventure stories where there's a white man battling hordes of offensive stereotypes. Those. You had a very personal experience seeing that trope plastered on real human beings you feel a connection to, and now you can't handle the trope in general. There's nothing wrong with that.

Maybe later you'll decide that the offense is in people applying the template to real human beings, and you'll be able to tolerate heroes mowing down cardboard cutout Evil Monsters, and that's fine. Maybe you'll decide that you don't ever want to put even fantastical beings in that mold, and you'll restrict your attention to fiction which puts people on all sides of a conflict, and that's fine too.
