Waka learns from his past and has growth. He's not racist at the end of the story.

Yeah casuals don't usually care for the positive end results. They care mostly to the parts they can relate to most. For example, in the end of Fight Club the MC clearly understands that what he's done is bad and Tyler is evil so he overcomes it but the fans don't give a shit about that. They care most of about the anarchy and ThE fIrST RUle Of FIGhT CLUb iS: yOu dO noT TalK aBOuT FIGHt CLuB.

He is a true Trumper at the start of the game, the only difference is that Wakka learns that it is wrong.

Tellah is racist against Damcyans. He even has a slur for them - he called them "spoonies". He wasn't just calling Prince Edward a silly music man, he was basically calling him the N word.

It's like traveling the world and meeting a wide variety of people instead of staying in his small rural village his entire life helped him to become more open minded lol

Art uses subtleties and has redemption arcs regularly. People love that shit in art. They just hate to consider it for real people or want anyone to actually become a better person. They want to see you spiral and then still convince themselves they're the good guys in the world

What i find funny is writing villains to not be racist. Like theyre probably the most racist but the writer cant make them racist as it will seem like theyre projecting. Or its a weird kefka/sephiroth hating everyone equally or some shit like that.

Also, people like their villains to be fun and charismatic, to pose an interesting counter to the protagonists, when in real life, villains tend to be either straightforwardly, transparently stupid and eat shit, or they're boring ghouls.

You'd think, but it wasn't even that. It was seeing undeniable proof that his religion was corrupt and full of shit (important, because just witnessing the corruption only told him that certain individuals were untrustworthy) that finally turned things around for him.

So he isnt a Trumper then, as Trumpers are incapable of learning that it is wrong.

He was also forced to trust and rely on the people he hated. By this point, he had already helped assassinate a key member of the church, but it was still before he saw the extent of its corruption and the lies the faith was founded on.

I can make fun of Wakka for being a racist weedsmoker with the dumbest hair ever without it meaning that I'm ignoring that he changes as a person.

This, they're pretty racist to dark elves and even miqo'te. The lancer/dragoon role quests feature a dark elf spiraling down and eventually killing himself because of being mistreated. Also heavensward, they hate dragons and you learn in the dark knight questline and kind of the white mage questline that ishgard even killed au ra due to their appearance being dragonlike.
