One, it's a casting trope, which means any real life example is going to be a shoehorn by definition, since real life doesn't have characters played by actors.
Second, any example is something that actually happened, and wouldn't actually be wrong.
Third, I think pretty much all examples were generic, which we don't allow.
But mostly, in my opinion, it was a list of minorities. It's not really what the trope is about.

Please see this topic for the ongoing discussion about removing RL trope sections.
Also: we aren't Wikipedia. Historical documentation is not what we're here for.

I've always found Black Vikings to be one of the most interesting tropes, and I loved the Real Life section because it gave several factual examples of the trope in Real Life and was quite educational. Does anybody know why such a useful and informative section was deleted?
