There are no such things as "positive stereotypes" that is why they are called "stereotypes". If they were positive, they would be called attributes, or characteristics

"A stereotype is a simplified and/or standardized conception or image with specific meaning, often held in common by people about another group. A stereotype can be a conventional and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image, based on the assumption that there are attributes that members of the other group hold in common. Stereotypes are sometimes formed by a previous illusory correlation, a false association between two variables that are loosely if at all correlated. Stereotypes may be positive or negative in tone."

There are positive stereotypes lowing: like black people being physically stronger and having bigger dicks.
