The offensive movie cliche that won't die

Q.Do they label other nationalities this way as well? Not the term "magical negro" but something else? Are there films out there that have these roles reversed? Why does the author have to label blacks as "magical negro"? Why doesn't white people want black people to succeed? They have rights like everyone else. Why the prejudice?
A.:Not sure what to think of this reading.  Seems to me that the relationships between the "magical nergroes" and white men are potrayed as master and servant in films. I find it kind of racial that films are made that way. Shouldn't everyone be equal and not labeled like that. My thing is that the actors and actresses aren't even worried about it because they are big time stars in there own right. I don't agree how the author tries to label black actors and actresses thos way. If it was a problem then they wouldn't be known or be in the films.
