Now that I think about xenophobia and racist stereotypes, I think I can see why even positive stereotypes are bad.

    I’ve often had a similar thought, for me the quintessential example is the spiritual indigenous person who is naive to the modern world, when in fact the group contains individuals of varying levels of spirituality and naivety, just like every group. While it is often well meaning trying to promote a ‘positive’ stereotype in response to racism is not especially helpful.

    That is my white, cis, male take. I’d be interested in any minority opinions.
