While overall the stereotype is negative, even positive aspects of it exhibit racist thinking. African-Americans still struggle today with this warrior race stereotype, especially the "positive" aspects such as the idea that African-Americans are inherently good at athletics. Native Americans still struggle today with the "noble savage" stereotype.
Um...what? I'm not sure I'd call Neil DeGrasse Tyson a warrior or Sherman Alexie a noble savage. Anyone who equates African-Americans with warriors or Native Americans with a noble savage has a brain virus. Skin color does not contribute to culture, character, or morality.
