I do remember someone from WotC gleefully pointing out what sort of torture all the iconics went through in the art from Dungeonscape. They seem to have this focus on torturing all the iconics. Redgar certainly would get the brunt of that as one of the center stage iconics (even after the initial focus on him at the beginning of 3E).

Any other focus on Redgar certainly deals with the fact that he was "unwanted" and forced into the position rather than just his race (which is a factor, but a tangential one). So, I agree that such focus is only incidentally racially motivated.
