It's present in large quantities in Doritos, most other packaged salty snack foods, Kentucky Fried Chicken, soy extract, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, walnuts, etc.
I highly doubt MSG has any health risk associated with it due to its natural presence in many foods.
It's more likely that it became a racist stand-in, considering there are other false Chinese food tropes: Quality or source of meat (allusions to cats and dogs), cleanliness of kitchens, MSG, etc.
