How farback does the Magic Negro myth go?

Isn’t the Genie in the lamp you rub to get 3 wishes usually also a black man?

where did that come from?

Also, someone made a youtube video showing the connection between black male s and the apothecaries of old Europe. The shops in Germany would have a picture or statue of a black guy out front; a lot of them are still there.

I will see if I can find it because that may be the origin of the “magic negro” myth.
