In The Vampire Diaries, Bonnie is quite LITERALLY an example of The Magical Minority

This trope was mocked in The Simpsons when the family had a black therapist and Homer kept saying he was an angel 😭

Since it's mentioned that the Magical Minority is an inverse of the White Savior, now I can't help but imagine a parody where a white schoolteacher goes to an inner-city school to "save the children" only to come into conflict with a Black janitor giving the one white kid in class a bunch of folksy wisdom. Hijinks ensue and they battle each other for dominance as the better mentor while the kids manage to do just fine on their own.

You guys should talk about how black protagonist in Disney films Are literally human for 15 mins in the whole movie and are not human for most of the movie

In "Moxie", protagonist Vivian is inspired to start an anonymous feminist zine by plucky new girl Lucy. While it's a decent film, I kept wishing that we were following Lucy's story instead, since she didn't need anyone to "inspire" or "teach" her.

The magical minority trope could also be seen as a tool of justifying the appropriation of POC's ideas, culture etc; because in the context of the magical minority, the POC gives permission for their ideas/ gifts to be used by the white protagonist in order for them (protagonist) to better themselves vs the POC of colour using those same ideas/ gifts for themselves.

I love that y'all brought out "the silent Asian" and "the black sidekick". These are things I HATE to see in popular culture because it rarely gets called out.

Excuse me. Holes is a straight up deconstruction of this trope. Like Sam and Kate's story is a villain origin story for Kate because the two fell in love but they both ended up in danger because they lived in a society that wouldn't allow for a mixed race couple. And Madame Zeroni cursed the Yelnats because they used her as a stepping stone to better themselves and that curse is only broken when Stanley helps her great great grandson recover from food poisoning.

An example that was a little annoying was in The Queen´s Gambit (a series that i otherwise liked a lot) the black friend tells the heroine (who is going trough a breakdown) that she is not there to be her guardian angel or to save her...except that´s exactly what she does and the last scene of her is smiling because of Beth´s acomplishments , they awknowleged the existence of the trope but didn't defied it in anyway to validate Jolene´s words.

But when you're talking about Asians, you have to think about the stereotypes of their respective countries. They're all stereotyped as stoic, but Japanese are stereotyped as polite while Chinese are stereotyped as rude.

...not the misunderstanding of 'Holes' oh no. Sam and Kate was literally about racism, and Sam literally was the only person to learn what the lizards don't like to protect themselves. And Madame Zeroni cursed The Yelnats BECAUSE he used her as a stepping stool. Stanley broke the curse because he got to know Hector as a person, and no longer held himself as higher or better than him.

Are you really going to gloss over what really happened in Holes like that? Sam wasn't *just* Kate's handyman. She kept on asking him to come fix things because they fell in love and that was the only socially acceptable way they could spend time together *because* of all the racism. Sam didn't die because he fixed her school house. He died because a jealous racist white man caught them kissing and formed a lynch mob. If he fits any trope, it would be the "girlfriend in the freezer" trope because that's the inciting incident for her to become Kissing Kate Barlow and start robbing and killing rich white people.after her initial vengeance on the people responsible for Sam's death And you also completely glossed over all the racial themes in the rest of the movie, too. Zero couldn't read because of being homeless and not in school, which led to his eventual arrest. When Zero asks Stanley to teach him in exchange for help with digging his hole, the other campers/inmates antagonize both of them for making Zero into his "personal slave," which leads Stanley to say he can dig his own holes and still teach zero. Not to mention that they were *friends* and cared about each other. And you left out the fact that Zero and his family also got rich at the end because the two families split the treasure 50/50 Holes might be "baby's first look at racism" as far as movies go, but it was there and you really had to reach and leave things out to turn it into a magical minority trope. Smh

Please do the Dehumanization Transformation trope where Black characters and other POC in animation are needlessly transformed into animals or another non-human creature to learn a “lesson”. Examples are: Princess and The Frog, Soul, Brother Bear, Emperors New Groove, Spies in Disguise

I once told a colleague about an herb that my tribe loves incorporating in dishes. She then exoticized my narration and blew it out of proportion as if I was a wise man from ancient times. Little does she know, said herb was just scallions crushed on mortar. Nothing "mystical" or "magical" about it. We just preserve traditional cooking methods. Nothing more, nothing less.

This trope affected me in such a sub-conscious way. I watched a show a long time ago with a black main character and my first thought was "cool, getting introduced with a side character first, i wonder who the main character is?" until i came to realize he was the main character. I felt so ashamed.

Bonnie Bennet from TVD is the embodiment of this trope. It makes me sick how they used one of their few characters of color as their magical slave. 😤

Key & Peele's sketch on this is hilariously on point

While I see the good intention, a thing thats been bothering me on this channel is that they "analyze" so many tv shows and movies at the same time that they will sometimes confuse or misread a desconstruction, aversion or parody of a trope. I'd rather read the comment section tbh.

I don't think Pocahontas counts as a Magical Minority. She's the hero of the movie, not John Smith, and I'd argue that she's a much more fleshed out character than him. She doesn't just exist to help or guide him

Even if the black character is a just a friend and not magical, a lot of times they still don’t flesh out their stories or show that they have any other black friends or relatives. It’s always just some black person there for “diversity” and often time they make that character gay to check off two diversity boxes. Sick of that shit

Sam in Holes definitely meets a lot of the criteria, but I do think it's worth it to mention he and Kate were in love. He wasn't just doing favors for no reason.

The Karate Kid does have this trope in full effect, except in one scene in the middle of the movie. Daniel finds Mr. Miyagi drunk, in his old army uniform and clutching a letter. The letter informed him that his wife and child died (possibly in an internment camp?) while he was away fighting (during WWII, I think). He’s gotten drunk because it’s the anniversary of their deaths. Daniel reads the letter aloud while Mr. Miyagi continues to get drunk. It’s a really good scene, but the narrative doesn’t delve into that part of Mr. Miyagi’s past further. The movie could have examined why he chose to help Daniel (may because he still misses the family he lost and he wishes he had a son to teach martial arts to), but the narrative keeps focusing on Daniel instead.

No Bonnie Bennett from The Vampire Diaries? She's a PRIME example of the magical minority trope. JP can step on Legos for what she's done and still does to Bonnie's character.

I keep seeing Lucius Fox, Morgan Freeman’s character from Batman- does he really fit the mold of a magical minority? While he is a side character in a story with a white protagonist, he’s also a professional with a very long career, and the head of a division in Wayne Enterprises, a talented scientist, and his purpose in the story isn’t to ‘save’ Bruce or give him moral support- they work together.

I think The Take needed to fully rewatch the film to understand that while pop culture thinks of Miyagi as a stereotype that The Karate Kid film itself is actually a huge subversion. Ive known and been impressed by the film all of my life because while Miyagi is shown to be a badass and wise old master martial artist the movie goes out of its way to demystify Miyagi. At first the film makes it seem like Daniel is Luke Skywalker and Miyagi is Yoda here to give Daniel lost ancient teachings. But then the film carries on and you find Miyagi drunk in his old war uniform, the newspaper and letter that says his wife and child died in an Internment camp, and then you realize: Miyagi is just a man. A wise man, a good fighter, but in reality quiet not because hes this mystical being but because he has a lot of pain. Hes lived a life, hes been to war, he fought for a country that was brutally and still is racist to his people. He had a wife and lost her and their unborn child because of said racism. And thats when you as a viewer - especially as you get older - realize that Miyagi wasnt just teaching Daniel how to fight just because. Miyagi wanted to pass down all that he knew and learned over his life as a father would to their children. Its not like Daniel necessarily needed a father but in the film you clearly see that Daniel before Miyagi is a young man whose struggling. So Miyagi takes him on as a student. But in addition to fighting what does Miyagi do? He teaches him to paint a fence, he teaches him how to clip a bonsai, he teaches him how to wax a car, how to drive a car, and Im certain if the film was longer we’dve seen Miyagi teach Daniel how to shave a beard. True much of this applies to karate but this is also just the basic things of life youd teach your kid, skills you as a parent would acquire over your own life, and help pass on. The film doesnt spell it out blatantly but the subtext and message is there. While the film is called The Karate Kid the movie is really about Mr. Miyagi. As much as its about a kid who cant fit in standing up to his bullies it is equally about a kind old man who finds a way to pass on everything he knows. Its about a found father son relationship. By trivializing Mr. Miyagi like this The Take does a huge disservice and is honestly being pretty racist by calling Miyagi just a magical foreigner.

I wouldn't call Mr. Miyagi a magical minority. He's has his own story, and he's the sage elder there to usher the hero on his journey. While this can intersect with the magical minority trope, in itself, his character isn't pernicious.

It's almost a joke at this point of how many times that shows and movies has this magical minority trope and the worst part is they don't even try to hide it. I mean as soon as the character opens their mouths you know what their purpose is.

Will Smith’s “po black man” accent is like nails on a chalk board. 🤦🏾‍♀️

It's annoying how this trope is still seen so prevalently. One of the most recent egregious examples was in the movie "Annabel". The black female character was literally just there to die for the white family. It absolutely made me sick. Kid shows aren't safe from this, either. As much as I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, I HATED the way the treated the ONE zebra character, Zecora. She was introduce in an episode about racism (not well-done) and from there on in, was just there to help the ponies with their problems. She lived far away from the ponies, in a wild forest, was the only character to speak in rhyme, and never got any kind of backstory (though she clearly had African influences). Sooooooo many other species were introduced in the show (griffons, changelings, hippogriffs, yacks, dragons), but we learned nothing about zebras. There were a number on problematic things in that show, but their treatment of Zecora was one of the biggest, most egregious examples.

We can also interpret the 'gay best friend' in most stories as a special extension of this, where they are just tools to help or make the main character better (I would say the core of this 'magical minority trope'). Except I can't say they have an element of magic attached to them. ~my take

"Overcoming the magical minority stereotype means recognizing the full spectrum of a character of color's emotional needs and personal experiences. And allowing them to put themselves first in their own stories." Perfectly stated.

No The Take Forrest didn’t just take Bubba’s knowledge of shrimping and got out of dodge he actually payed his dues to bubba’s mama. He actually gave her a chunk of the profits

I need a white guy to help me on my journey 😔

I love the movie Ghost as it is, but I would watch four seasons and two tv movies about Oda Mae Brown's adventures of realizing her own supernatural powers and all the crazy scenarios she gets dragged into by ghosts and the grieving people. and if you say you wouldn't, I don't trust your tastes in the slightest.

The problem is, when you define this trope as broadly as you do, any racial minority who is a supporting character is classified as a "magical minority", even though their characterization is indistinguishable from white supporting characters. This is a problem with a lot of "trope analysis". It's assumed that minority characters have been written differently, rather than that being proved.

Not saying the trope isn't real, but some of the examples are secondary characters. While we have to rethink this trope, we can't say that anytime a minority is not the main character in a movie they are playing this trope.

Lucius Fox doesn't count, he has his own conflicts with Robert Earle in Batman Begins and even ethical conflicts with Bruce Wayne himself in the Dark Knight. He also has a rich past with Thomas Wayne and was the engineer who designed the train system in Gotham City, which plays a huge role in the climax. Plus, he has a clear arc of someone being suppressed for challenging the status quo within Wayne Enterprises and by the end he becomes the CEO. "Didn't you get the memo?"

While some of these examples are spot on, I don't agree that the magical minority applies to all the movies featured. I think they are reaching.

This is a good subject but bad analysis. Secondary character no matter the race don't get back story or character progression, it's not always because of this trope.

The first time i became aware of "The Magical Minority" was Tom Cruise's "The Last Samurai". After it was over, I thought, a white American had to help the Japanese fight their own battles? What a bunch of bullshit.

Someone obviously didn't understand "Holes" whatsoever....smfh

The comic 'Southern Bastards' does a great job subverting this trope. There is a blind black man who helps teach an abused kid in a small town about football to help him make a name for himself, and all it does is turn this kid into a power-hungry psychopath who becomes the villain of the story. He eventually kills himself out of shame of the destruction he indirectly caused all because he helped the wrong kid.

So many tropes created to sooth white guilt. It's really interesting. I'd like to see some deconstruction of these tropes in the future

Billy Porter in the upcoming Cinderella movie kills two birds with one stone!

They did Bonnie from the vampire diaries so bad with this trope..

As a writer, I love watching videos like this for two reasons. 1. So I don't fall into traps because of ignorance or subconscious brainwashing and 2. So I can create new groundbreaking stories and characters.

I agree with everything else, but you got damn wrong about holes.

Okay, I'm sorry, but how is Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman's character in The Dark Knight series) this trope? Unless we're to assert that every non white person who doesn't play the lead is. I feel that there has to be more to it than "non white supporting character." And by "supporting character," I mean in the sense of "not the lead," rather than "provides support." You know, although this channel has good commentary on legitimate issues, it also seem to too often cast too wide a net on the examples used.

Agreed,for the most part. But in the case of Bubba and Forrest, Forrest did financially set up Bubba's family for life, in honor of Bubba being the one to inspire the business and give him his knowledge. And I don't feel like that was any kind of "white savior" move, coming from the character that is Forrest, who, as a character, would never see anyone as anything less than an equal, for any reason. One way this was established about him was the several examples, early in the film wherein he showed that he didn't quite grasp what racism even was, not having the mindset to judge anyone for superficial things (or at all, really). Forrest wouldn't help someone to make himself look good or to feel better about himself. He did the right things simply because they were the right things. So, while Bubba himself wasn't helped (having died), Forrest did do right by him by giving back to his family, in full, as if Bubba was his partner all along. He was treated as an equal even when not physically present. So I feel like the idea of "the magical minority gaining nothing by helping the white protagonist" doesn't *quite* apply to this example, at least not 100%. I would imagine that Bubba, in Heaven, got his dream too in the end, by being able to give his family a great life, with his business, a business which was always honored as part his, as if he was never gone.

Lucious Fox isn’t really a magical minority, at least not his comic book self as he has his own backstory, motivation, and family. His kid is even Batman.

I love this channel so much but that was the most embarrassingly bad misread of Holes I could have imagined.

I love how Django Unchained flips this trope around. Just another reason why it's such a great film!

I don't think Lucius Fox is an accurate example. In the Dark Knight films, he was the head of R&D at a major defense contractor. His knowledge isn't "magical" but the result of college education and years of working in the lab. What more do you need to demonstrate that the man earned his skills and expertise? Does every minority character need a college montage to establish they studied engineering or medicine or art? Can't presenting him as the head of a major arm of a major technology and engineering company count as enough credentials? Also, his loyalty to Bruce stems from his friendship with Thomas Wayne before his murder. Lucius knew Bruce as a boy who lost everything and has some of the same paternal feelings Alfred does. I feel like Lucius is a bit of a mentor who happens to be black. Applying the "magical negro" label to him reduces every non-white mentor figure to a joke.

The Eddie Murphy movie Holy Man is the ultimate magical minority movie. I mean, it's a good movie but it ticks literally every box.

Essentialism is rampant in this breakdown. I dig The Take but sometimes it kicks out the flattest analysis. Not saying this isn't a trope or that even some of the selections depicted are off but some are way off

Because we are magic. Awaken.

I am magic.I make blunts and relationships disappear.

I gotta say I don't think Mr. Miyagi belongs as an example on this list. Even by your own criteria, he has a detailed backstory and a character arc in the film and while he is most certainly a mentor his motives are not helping for no reason but because he is seeking family after losing his.

I get that there are some obvious magical poc tropes in film and television that need to be called out for being racist, but the tone of this video implies that every secondary character that’s a poc that’s nice to a white protagonist inherently fits into that trope. I think that viewpoint is really dismissive of the need to promote positive representation onscreen of poc. It’s great that we have more writers and creators that are poc that can provide perspectives that white writers cannot, but if you tell white writers that everything they write about poc is racist in one form or another, you are pretty much guaranteeing that the movie production industry will become segregated between the various races instead of uniting them. Maybe that’s what you want, but I’d rather see the industry united than divided.

In the tv series The Good Wife, Kalinda is like a badass sherlock but only shown as the smallest part of the law suites! Though loved d scene where she asks for a raise... and gets it.

I think Forrest Gump's Bubba got a bit of a short shrift in this. Bubba does get some back story of his own via Forrest's narration. He is one of the most beloved and memorable characters, he is given an iconic sequence (shrimp list), his death is the most tragic scene in the film, Forrest honors his memory in the company name and goes back to Bayou La Batre to share the BubbaGump Shrimp profits with Bubba's mother. His character is the emblem for every bright, loved young man who died in a senseless war. Bubba is a huge, important part of this movie. Mykelti Williamson did a brilliant job.

I went into Green Book thinking, oh no here we go again, and I sat down to watch it with some reservation. However it impressed me ultimately as two equals dealing with each other on a more or less level playing field with different strengths and weaknesses. I felt they helped each other in the end. I personally wouldn't put this film in either category. I would like to add I've rarely if ever watched a movie where two characters arc and or back story was evenly balanced. It is a visual impossibility in a two hour film.

I'm only around the 5 minutes mark so I can only hope there will be some praise about the trope too: "Remusz bacsi mesei" was very popular when I was a kid, first black person I ever saw, and a positive image at that. Made me ask a lot of questions from my parents, and it took a lot of dumb Hollywood movies to build some negative stereotypes. At least in places where you might not meet a black person for the first decade or two of your life, I feel like his show is a net positive influence.

I’m commenting just to agree with many other commenters: This analysis includes a blatant misinterpretation of “Holes.” I taught the book to fifth-grade students once upon a time, and … yeah, Sam’s character is in no way a magical minority. Like not even close. It’s relevant that he’s a minority, given how he died and the theme of poisonous/venomous racism, but he’s not an angelic or bizarrely magical figure - Kate just loves him. Louis Sachar is a better author than that, and there’s a reason it won the Newbery. This inclusion alone ruins the analysis for me. The video did make me wonder, though: Would Candyman be considered a magical minority? His backstory is similar to Sam’s, but he could certainly be interpreted as magical after his death … plus he also contributed to Helen’s character development in a major way. I’d listen to that argument for sure.

I get weirdly excited anytime someone acknowledges the existence of The Leftovers. I'm glad it was a better example.

I dont agree with Mr. Fox as the trope. If I saw an actor of my race play a character of FOX, I would be proud.

well i dont gett it as an latino having a magical black trope its nice because they only see us like an magical gardener, or an magical gang member, an magical mambo dancer, magical bad construction worker or magical hot maid, and the magical its optional.

Iron Man - War Machine Captain America - Falcon Thor - Valkyrie Captain Marvel - I don't even remember her name. Dr. Strange - That Asian guy. Spider man - That Asian guy. That's all I can remember off the top of my head.

This is rare bad video from The Take. Lots of poor readings. I haven't seen all the things referenced, but many of those that I have seen just don't fit the trope. Eg. Lucius Fox in Batman, Bubba in Forrest Gump, Sam in Holes. I'll keep an open mind. Maybe I need to revisit those films but my initial reaction is this video is way off at times

Does anyone else remember George, the dead Native American man who advised Dharma in Dharma and Greg? Weird that there was not a single Native American person on Earth who needed his help more...

I love how you discussed this in this video. The 'Huck Finn' movie version that I love is that with Elijah Wood. I've been having a hard time finding other people that like that one. Glad you brought attention to it, in this video. Also really glad you brought attention to "Green Mile" which became a top favorite of mine in summer 2020. And I've been enjoying others react to the movie.

Thank you for your review. I saw the movie ‘The American Society Of Magical Negroes’. yesterday and as a person who graduated from the oldest African American University and have been in a long-term interracial relationship. It was better than I thought. everybody sees the world from their perspective and how it connects to them. I could relate to this movie.

Well, to be fair, Alfred is also there just to help Bruce, for what I can remember.

So when the side character is white and helping the main black character, it's White Savior and it's bad. And when the main character is white and the helping side character is black, it's Magical Minority and it's bad. So what you're saying is, just don't have black characters in your movie lol.

OHHHHH, I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SEE A TAKE VIDEO ON THIS SUBJECT!!!! Ugh..... you people know me so well!!!

I love your videos, and as a humanities major (philosophy) I always try to communicate these things to filmmakers. Unfortunately, many artists and filmmakers don't really care and are not fully aware of the tropes and subtext. Many reject them as 'an agenda', as analyses that have nothing to do with art but with politics and so on. In my experience, many if not most film majors just want to make videos and films, they don't really care about systemic injustice or faulty portrayals. It is really frustrating! But you are making a change! Cheers!

Normally i like your videos but this one seems kind of lazy. Not every movie where a minority helps a white person is this. It's when it's one dimensional. Like in karate kid the mentor character is fleshed out we get his backstory and racism against Asians specifically Japanese. So it's not swept under the rug. And he is there throughout the entire movie not discarded. It would be like saying anytime a female character dies she's fridged. Or any girl who is even a little bit different is a manic pixie dream girl. So many of your examples were just lazy

I've been rewatching the early seasons of the X Files, and oof.. the way they incorporated Native American characters in a bunch of episodes for the sole and explicit purpose of performing spiritual healing rituals to save Mulder and even Scully's sister from death was so cringe. On the other hand, I always found Tran from New Girl to be a self-aware (and hilarious) parody of the trope.

Ready to have your mind blown: O&A used to have a recurring guest, the great Patrice O’neal. He started on the show, then became a teacher of men, most notably, in the realm of interacting with women. He also foresaw the evident fallout and demise of the O&A show. Then, he unfortunately passed away 😮. And the o&a show did have the huge fallout and demise.

This is why I struggled to like The Queen's Gambit as much as I wanted to. The one black friend is there just long enough to get the protagonist hooked on drugs and in her moment of need, reappears with the money she needs to win a chess competition. Why should the black character give up her life's savings for this girl's hobby?

Someone help me out here, how was Bubba a “magical minority” in Forrest Gump? I always saw him as the Black counterpart of Forrest, hence the scene in which Lt. Dan asked sarcastically were they twins. I find it rather ironic and peculiar that we’re having a conversation about magical minorities in Hollywood movies yet that’s exactly how the current VP was selected and that was a big part of their campaign but I digress. I totally understand the subject of this video but some examples aren’t accurate, particularly Bubba Blue and Lucius Fox. Fox also because if you recall The Dark Knight he helped Batman but he disagreed with the method and he resigned at the end, that’s not a magical minority or servant, that’s an independent thinking man which destroys the stereotypes trope.

Some of these are self-aware parodies of the trope.

What do you think about To Sir with Love? Sydney Potier does play a patient teacher helping uncouth London Youth become cultured and refined, and there's only a little back story on him. But, he's the main character and the movie and title song are about him.

So how do we fix this? Cast black, brown, & Asian people as the protagonists with their own story to tell!

In Forrest defense. He was the magical minority to Lt Dan

9:23 Feel Good!? Who the hell feels good watching the green mile? In latinamerica they named that movie "the sins devourer"

How is Faulks in Batman Begins a magical negro? The dude literally lost his job at the new CEO and gets hired again as a chairman, in the sequel he literally disagrees with Batman’s plan as it is a step towards taking away our freedoms

Finally! I’ve been waiting on The Take to do a video on this.

Take away the magical part and you're left with just a tokenized one-dimensional sidekick for comical relief. Like the effeminate gay best friend trope.

A lot of times I wonder if The Take actually watches the films they mention rather than just probably read the byline of it. Oda Mae in Ghost got a backstory (she was a con woman to begin with whose mother was a psychic and at the beginning she was pretending to see ghosts), a motive to help (Patrick Swayze annoyed her to the point she agreed to help, then one thing led to another) and to the point where her "spiritual and moral awakening", from her psychic abilities kickstarting and her trying to be a better person - that scene at the bank probably won Whoopi that Oscar, came from a white man (well, a white male ghost). And that's not as far a stretch as calling Nick from Feel Good an example of "magical minority" trope. While all this is probably problematic in various other ways, which I'm sure The Take will be able to do a 20 minute content and monetize about, it feels like the whole premise of "why is this still a thing" hangs on a) a TV series which didn't get a lot of fanfare, b) the 2019 Oscar winner which was kinda mostly forgotten about now except as a punchline and c) Feel Good? Really? Did you actually watch it?

Laurence Fishburne in Passengers has the magical, mystical power... of being a crewmember of the Starship. I don't think this should apply.

The real question: Are there African movies with "Magical Blancos"? I imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger randomly appearing in a Ugandan movie just to teach the protagonist how to shoot a Shotgun with one hand.

This is why I always say representation for representation's sake isn't a good thing. That goes for all minorities, even LGBTQ community and other ethnic groups. We have to raise our standards. Just sticking a person of a minority group in a movie or show doesn't make it good. Period. I said my piece.

I have an awful feeling that the screen writers simply don't know how to portray minorities in a positive but realistic way.

Oh gosh! This video is so important, it made me take a step back and realize how I'm treated by certain people, and i do believe they only want know how i can help them instead of actually being friends and both of us actually caring about each other's real lives, damn, effective outdated trope, you scary!

"WHO YOU CALLING NEGRO BXTCH" 😂😂😂😂 as a black guy that was my favorite part of this whole video 😂

My question is when is a relationship between white and minority characters not under the umbrellas of magical minority or white savior tropes? How can we write a pair of characters like this with a helpful relationship between each other while avoiding the tropes here? What are some successful examples of this relationship?

Was stalking y’all channel 😳😂 thanks for uploading

Because of this video, it's time to have a Native American/First Nations trope video. People literally think First Nations people are only apart of history or fantasy. They need their own video about the issue of their representation. The magical minority is ridiculous.
