Do you think the trope name could be changed to \\\"Fantasy Counterpart Stereotype?\\\" That way, it would sound less specifically focused on Jews, and would encompass all stereotypical characters.

And the trope description says that the trope is just about nonhuman characters. What about humans who embody stereotypes in fantasy settings? Wouldn\\\'t they count too?

For example, the Calormenes from \\\'\\\'TheChroniclesOfNarnia\\\'\\\' are human, but they\\\'re still fantasy versions of evil Middle Easterners.

Another example would be the traveling singers and the Foggy Swamp Waterbenders from \\\'\\\'AvatarTheLastAirbender\\\'\\\', who are humans, but they\\\'re still stereotypical versions of hippies (the traveling singers) and rednecks (the Foggy Swamp Waterbenders).

And we also have Derpy Hooves from \\\'\\\'MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic\\\'\\\', who is considered by some to be a negative portrayal of disabled people.
