Talk:magical Negro

Is a magical Negro always black-skinned? Just noticed that the def doesn't mention skin colour at all. Equinox ◑ 17:29, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Good point. Although I can find a single cite of "a white Magical Negro", I think the trope is definitionally black, and can only be used of a white character if the whiteness is explicitly spelled out like that (alienans).

Outside cinema
I tweaked the definition to say "especially" (but not only) American cinema, since it also sees use in reference to characters in comic books, other books, and even the real world: - -sche (discuss) 21:42, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
