I remember reading a few pages of a comic at a friend's house which had the following context and dialogue, roughly paraphrased. Main character is a white woman, and the setting was science fiction with an alien tribal race.
Tribe is in trouble, and is facing a powerful enemy. White main character shows up to help.
Tribal woman: "You have come to help us. Have you brought weapons? Are you a trained negotiator? Do you have information on our foe?"
Main character: "Uh... no."
Tribe then proceeds to reject her help. I need it b/c it's a perfect critique of the white savior complex and voluntourism, and I wanted to reference it in a piece I'm doing.
Thanks for any help :)
