I actually don't like most fantasy, but Lord of the Rings is a bad example of that. Most of the races are not evil, but had evil or faulty leadership. The Uruk-hai weren't a natural race, but a corruption created by Sauron.

Most fantasy that do have evil races are descended from D&D, which has self described, biological determinist, Gary Gygax to blame.
