Examples wouldn't be specific for any type of work using the trope, as it isn't a story convention, but much like MostWritersAreMale it's observant of a overall trend which leads to the tropes I pointed out in question.

Just from a Google search to prove I'm not going EverythingIsRacist:

[[http://www.thewrap.com/tv/article/tv-writing-remains-white-mans-world-writers-guild-study-finds-82556?page=0,0 TV Writing Remains a White Man's World, WGA Study Finds]]: "Minority writers nearly doubled their share of staffing positions since the millennium but remain severely underrepresented. Between the 1999-2000 and 2011-12 seasons, minority writers’ share of TV employment increased from 7.5 percent to 15.6 percent. Despite this increase, minorities as a combined group remain underrepresented by a factor of more than two-to-one in television staff employment in the 2011-12 season...A number of writing staff remain dominated by white males. Roughly 10 percent of TV shows in the 2011-12 season had no female writers on staff; and nearly a third had no minority writers on staff. In the 2010-2011 television season, only 9 percent of pilots had at least one minority writer attached, while just 24 percent of pilots had at least one woman writer attached."
