Its a very frustrating view l. I used to think that this people were simply small-minded and only familiar high fantasy inspired from European settings, but now I think theyre all probably just closet racists at best.
Its one thing to regionalize ethnicities in a fantasy world (the Grishaverse is a good example of this), but the complete absence of them is nonsensical.

Is it really hard to understand why a monoethnic culture with limited technology and mobility wouldn't have a lot of interethnic mixing? If there's some technology or magic in a setting to explain why there's a lot of mixing and travel between countries or cultures that's great, but it's a lot easier to assume a setting based in one location where the fastest means of transport is a horse is full of one kind of people than the inverse. The vast majority of fantasy worlds do regionalize ethnicities. I can't think of any off the top of my head that are just a world full of white people. They just take place in regions where white people are.
