Can this trope be expanded to include nonhumans who are portrayed a member of a certain ethnic group, but don't portray ethnic stereotypes?

Sometimes, the alien, monster, animal, or other nonhuman creature is portrayed as a member of a certain ethnic group, but doesn't portray an ethnic stereotype.

Uh, could you give an example? If they don't display any obvious signs of being a member of the group, then how are you supposed to know they're part of that group? (Remember, Tropes Are Not Bad. It doesn't have to be over-the-top or offensive to be an example.)

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.

It already does. I quote,

The Space Jew is an alien, monster, animal, or other nonhuman creature that embodies the worst aspects of a real-world racial, ethnic, or religious stereotype, whether Jewish, black, Asian, white or whatever.

This trope has entered the Repair Shop, at least (if not, very close to), a year ago. Last time, misuse (or, at least, a lack of non-Jewish stereotype examples) was not seen as a problem, and it was decided that the name should stick.

EDIT: I'm sorry, I misread the OP. Looking over it again, I'm going to concur with what Jovian said, above.

[up][up][up] If you're asking if Ben Grimm is a Space Jew, I think the answer is no.

Clocking due to lack of activity.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
