"... (and yes, racist / sexist / xenophobic) Americans and write their stories with the same empathy that we've afforded other misunderstood people groups...."
There would be no audience for that, unless it was a redemption story, and those in the groups you mentioned wouldn't be interested in seeing that. My opinion.
I also see the other's example of Heroes of the Fourth Turning, at least as a one off. But I didn't it would appeal to the non-elite of conservative because if its structure.
