Writing as different races, particularly in worlds that are similar to ours, is wrought with pitfalls.  People are particularly prone to offense these days, so do you write a character to subvert expectations?  Could cause problems.  Do you write someone entirely divorced from stereotypes?  That could cause an entirely different set of problems.

>I fail to see how writing a being without stereotypes is a bad thing. Note that I say being rather than human, as with humans or adjacent cultures to our own it's harder to do. Or prevent interpretation of such.
