No, it's less about the guy and more about the race as a whole. An individual guy is rarely the focus with that trope.

Wizard Needs Food BadlyBecause 90% of when those tropes show up we only ever see the one guy and the rest of their race is just implied to be like that. A Proud Merchant Race shows up as a group.

DickIf that is the case, then I suggest that Proud Warrior Race Guy and Proud Scholar Race Guy have their main titles changed to match Proud Merchant Race since many of the examples in both are about alien races instead of guys in said alien races.

I know that Proud Merchant Race is a perfectly fine name, but shouldn't its main title name be consistent with the other two similar tropes, namely Proud Warrior Race Guy and Proud Scholar Race Guy?
