For me, I'd like a campaign setting where there is no correlation of any kind between ancestry and alignment. It could be a full world, or it could be a relatively small area.

Oh, you say you said something WRONG in the past, that was wrong when you said it? That means you are slandering anyone who read your post in the past. I'm going to launch a crowd funder to get you to retract your claim that anything you previously said was wrong!

I thought of one other thing I'd like to see, motivated by the large amount of discussion of Lovecraft. While many people on this thread have noted HPL's racism, there's one other non-inclusive thing that often shows up in works inspired by Lovecraft: the conflation of mental illness/"madness"...
After reading the whole thread, here are my thoughts on what to change.
For alignment, I think three things are needed:
1) Finish removing game mechanical effects of alignment. They are already mostly gone, so it shouldn't be too hard to get rid of them completely.
2) In the monster manual...
Oddly enough, it seems that on DriveThruRPG (run by the same company as DMsGuild) they put the warning only on the store pages for Oriental Adventures (both 1e and 3e).
I know this post was from many pages back, but this thread is moving fast so I'm just getting to it now.
I don't see how 3e's often/usually/always would be an improvement. For starters, the Monster Manual said that members of an "always <alignment>" species aren't actually always of that...
Of all the characters I would have expected to show up early in book 7, Julia was probably not in my top 20. And seeing as I can't post my reaction on the GitP forums, I made an account here to talk about it.
