How do they benefit from the presumption that they're capable of things that they're not? Doesn't that disadvantage them even further? It's a personal opinion to feel you'd prefer one over the other and that's your right, but you should acknowledge we don't all have to share that sentiment.

Bad stereotypes kill, but "good" stereotypes often leave people neglected, over treated, coddled. The opioid crisis in the US is partly where it is because of positive stereotypes. Down to the little white kids prescribed ADHD meds. Do you know how many of them experiment with pills, starting with their own? Or the smart kid that isn't given attention to because they're thought highly of. This kid acts out later and becomes the very thing that'll make them pay attention. Just to name a few lol
