Anti-oxymoron

A phrase where a stereotypical or assumed trait is so universally attributed to a group that the descriptor becomes redundant, as it does not add additional meaning beyond the group label itself.
That smelly Indian over there - this is an Anti-oxymoron because all Indians are smelly, making the word smelly redundant.

oxymoron

An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory or opposing terms appear in conjuction. The common oxymoron phrase is a combination of an adjective proceeded by a noun with contrasting meanings. They may be used to empahsize a certain phrase, or to create a verbally puzzling, and therefore enganging effect.
Some examples of oxymoron, such as, but not limited to, are:

Only choice, cold sweat, grounders in space, slow burn, painfully beautiful, sweet agony, amongst others.

The examples above were taken from a romantic context, more concretely fromThe 100, when Clarke and Bellamy tacitly professed their love for each other, but there are tons of more examples.
