Don't go in there 3: Magical Ethnicities

As a stereotype, it's not as bad as it could be. It's still horribly annoying, that most one-dimensional ethnic characters end up teaching trite life lessons to white two-dimensional protagonists. The reasoning is as follows: White people aren't spiritual enough, all their logic and common sense gets in the way, why can't they just have faith in the plot, like more primitive people, who believe the writer will fix everything for the happy end, even if it doesn't make sense. This is supposed to be a progressive message. Blind faith is the proper response to a crisis of conscience and any kind of ethnicity lives and breathes this idea because of years of white oppression. Though slavery is hardly dignified for the oppressors, it doesn't automatically turn the slaves and their descendants into morally pure people.
