Avatar is one, it's essentially a white character coming in and saving another racial community with their new, fancy ideas or ways. They usually become highly revered by the community and achieve high honours in it while literally only being their for like year or two. The unstoppable threat they usually help against is other white people, who the non-white group is no match for.I see...for Dune, I never read the book but I'm trying to remember any non white people in the David Lynch movie and I can't, so I assume it can be a matter of coding? I still find it difficult to not see that as a 'chosen one', he's the Kwizatz Haderach iirc there's only one of those, he represents that not a whole race. If anything that movie was about the evils of gingers and the upsides of drug abuse, but again that was a David Lynch movie that even he admits is all over the place so I'm sure there's important details omitted (or that I just don't remember). --- ...
