I don't think Fu Manchu is the source of Racial stereotypes so much as the product of them, being the barbarous chinese warlord and crap that people seemed to think Chinese people aspired to be in the 1800s. It was only later that his image was used to eemplify that yellow peril shit.

Still, I think Fu Manchu would be a pretty cool villain.
