This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

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

the way i see it all stereotypes which are imposed on a people are negative, the only potentially good stereotypes are ones the a people themselves chose to identify with.

Even then, "positive stereotypes" embraced by a community still cause a lot of harm, especially when those stereotypes originate outside the community. Like Asians being "model minorities" or Black men having "BBCs"

I'm starting to think these tropes are white nationalist fearmongering.

The former is a form of divide-and-rule mentality (like the British empire marking certain 'races' as 'martial races' and effectively creating a racial heirarchy), the latter is objectification, fetishization and yes fearmongering to leverage human nature as a way to make racism part of culture.

Divide and rule is fear mongering

Asians being smart, with the implication that we are robots, walking talking calculators, etc.
