24 White Savior Movies We'd Love to Rewrite According to Wealth of Geeks

"The white savior trope is far too prominent in Hollywood, with white heroes being the only hope for the minority characters around them. Movies with this trope often set out with good intentions, but there is no way to authentically tell the story of a minority from the majority's perspective. Why are white men deemed the best narrators of indigenous stories? Why is it always a white woman who rescues inner-city students from a life of crime? How could a racist white guy explain black culture to a black man? Hollywood doesn't see any issues with these narratives, but plenty of viewers do." - wealthofgeeks.com
