Well, you see, "positive stereotypes" aren't good either when talking about genetic characteristics because they set up false expectations about certain people. For example, the stereotype "all asians are good at math" makes asians who are average at math feel dumb; the stereotype that "all black man are strong and do the job" implies weak small black people are not "true black", etc. Let's not even touch the part where, back when black people were slaves, they were often "complimented" about how "tough like bulls" they were, reducing their humanity to labor strength...

It's possible that people might be overreacting, and is very likely that you are not interesting in merely provoking people, but there is plenty of reasons why people can get easily offended about this subject.
