Does Not Illustrate: White Mans Burden get usage counts

The problem with this picture (a photoshopped movie poster) is that you can't see whether the character is an underprivileged minority. So it doesn't illustrate anything unless you happen to be already familiar with whatever movie it is parodying.
Special trousers. Very heroic.

The title on the poster and the footballer character's skin color kinda make it clear to me.

Yeah, the woman is obviously white, and the guy is obviously black. Not sure where the confusion is.

Although at the same time it doesn't exactly do a stellar job of demonstrating the trope. It's still Keep Until Better Image Suggested at worst, though.

He's clearly black. Works for me.

The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
You need to Get Known to get one of those.
