Humans Are White	comment	Space has a lot of peoples in it. Way, way more peoples than science tells us there should be. There are blue people, green people, orange people, purple people, people that eat people, Proud Warrior Race Guys, Scary Dogmatic Aliens, Big Creepy-Crawlies, Energy Beings, and even the odd Sufficiently Advanced Alien with a very familiar name. And most of them even speak English, but there is still probably just the one black guy.note Seldom gal. You'll have an even harder time finding East Asiansnote and if you do they are almost Always Female or Indians, even though East-, South-, and South-East Asia together contain slightly over half of Earth's current population. This trope can also appear in alternate dimensions or histories as well as in futuristic space stories. Arguably a little more justified in Sword and Sorcery works, which are usually set in an iron age culture where travel is difficult, and you might have to travel a long distance to encounter significant ethnic diversity. Plus, if the story is based around a particular real world culture's legends and mythology (Greek, Norse, Japanese, Zulu, whatever), it is to be expected that most of the cast will belong to that ethnicity (indeed, exceptions run the risk of being Black Vikings). In older live-action works, this occurs because the great majority of actors were white, and The Hays Code prohibited mixed-race romantic pairings of characters and the actors who played them. Note that Humans Are White doesn't have to be about white people exclusively. If a Bollywood movie set in a distant, alien-filled galaxy features an all-Indian cast with other races in minor roles, and there is no in-universe explanation for the imbalance, then it's an example of this trope. Contrast with Politically Correct History. Also contrast with In the Future, Humans Will Be One Race, in which no race can be suspiciously over-represented because there is only one race to begin with. Compare with Human Aliens. Please do not confuse this trope with its Sister Trope, Monochrome Casting (and note that one doesn't imply the other; the cast could still be mixed-race if, say, all Asian actors played Martians rather than humans). Compare with how whites are blonde. Examples

Humans Are White / int_112decbc	comment	Planet of the Apes: Invoked. There's only one black man, Dodge, in the original film, and in the novelization, Zira says that the apes were intrigued by Dodge and stuffed him for display because they'd never seen a human with dark skin before. That said, there was a black man among the mutant society in the second film. In the unproduced Chris Columbus script, there is only one black astronaut as well, but the apes say that he has the look of "the southern tribes" right after meeting him. Pointedly averted in the later films in the original series, where chimpanzee leader Caesar's closest human allies are all men of colour. Caesar was raised by a character played by Mexican actor Ricardo MontalbÃ¡n, and when he's trying to arrange an ape uprising against the dystopian slaver society in the fourth movie, the only human who sympathizes with his cause is MacDonald, a black man who specifically cites the history of his own people as a major motivation. In the fifth film, Caesar has become the leader of a postapocalyptic community of humans and apes, and one of his advisors - tasked with representing the concerns of the humans - is MacDonald's brother.

Humans Are White / int_14d341dc	comment	Star Trek Online has no excuse, with three Asian characters on the entire Federation side (one of them being Lt. Kirayoshi O'Brien, who is still half-Irish) and the rest almost all either either white or white near-human aliens.note Two exceptions are Admiral T'nae, a light brown Vulcan, and Lt. Cdr. Tem Inasi, a chocolate-skinned Bajoran on the Enterprise-F command crew. Tuvok also reappears. The game's effective mascot is likewise white male, which drew some flak from the players when he was made part of the forum art. However, Character Customization and the Foundry Level Editor allow players and mission writers to avert this at will. The devs are trying to correct it. Worf's stepdaughter, Captain Koren of the I.K.S. Bortasqu', is very black and even has an African-American voice actor. There's also Commander Mesi Achebe (Ambiguously Brown) as well as several racially diverse Foundry contact Non Player Characters hanging out on Social Zones like Commander Futagami or Captain Ford. Also the art team found time to introduce new racial face options for Season 9 (including a new Asian face, an Eastern European and an African-based one). Based on the game's legendary Troubled Production, its really a Downplayed Trope.

This is especially odd as Kryta is supposed to be a melting pot of refugees from all the previously mentioned nations yet the only sign of their presence is the architecture. Averted with Path of Fire returning players to Elona, which is still populated by people with African and Middle Eastern appearances.

Humans Are White / int_1861f45b	comment	Starcraft: Most of the human characters are white, with a handful of exceptions, one of whom is a shapeshifting alien horror whose second identity has light skin. Things aren't much better gameplay-wise: only one unit in each game is nonwhite. In the first game, he's your basic worker. It's possible this is because every human in the Koprulu Sector is descended from a couple thousand people sent there on colony ships, but when a fleet from Earth comes calling, most of them are white too except for the aforementioned alien shapeshifter, whom they recruited locally in any case.

The Hero, The Big Guy and the Disk-One Final Boss are Ambiguously Brown but everyone else is pale to almost creepy levels. However, this makes sense in when you realise that one of the game's races (of which many plot-relevent characters are from) originates from under the sea. Also, in a subversion, said sea-dwellers do not actually see themselves as being "human".

Humans Are White / int_1aacbbc9	comment	In the Dragon Age series: Dragon Age: Origins was a massive perpetrator of this. Of the main cast, only Duncan appeared to be of non-white descent. This was especially egregious with the playable character. The Noble Human origin has an entirely white family and castle. You have the option of customizing the character to be any race or ethnicity, but no matter how your character look, his/her family will still be white (of course, this is an Acceptable Break from Reality as with the many origins, the developers would need to have fluid racial traits for dozens of characters). Justified by the setting; Ferelden is modeled on Saxon England. Dragon Age II fixes the last issue, by changing Hawke's family to match what the player chooses. Additionally, its setting, the Free City of Kirkwall, is a much more cosmopolitan place than Ferelden, and so the colour palette is much larger for skin tones. Averted in Dragon Age: Inquisition, where quite a few minor NPCs and major characters are black, including one party member (Enchanter Vivienne). It's mostly set in Orlais, which is again a much more cosmopolitan place. Ferelden is still almost entirely white.

Humans Are White / int_2250e67e	comment	Painfully applied in Star Trek: Enterprise, which has one African-American guy, one Japanese woman, and the rest of the crew is seemingly made up entirely of whites, except for a minor marine played by a pre-Lost Daniel Dae Kim. Throughout Enterprise, the blue-skinned Andorians repeatedly use "pinkskin" as a derogatory term for humans in general, even after meeting others. Especially weird in their first appearance, where they are using it to differentiate the humans from a group of Vulcans with the exact same skin tones. Lampshaded in one of the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch novels, where Shran starts to call Mayweather "pinkskin" and then realises that his skin isnâ€™t pink, apparently for the first time.

The Aselia setting seem to play this straight at first, only for an Updated Re-release later down the line to add Rondoline: an action girl who's... brown? Light-black? Arabic? Averted in the Destiny continuity, where Garr, Mary and Loni are darker-skinned than the rest of the cast. Innocence is the same, having the darker-skinned Hermana, Sian and QQ. Tales of Eternia goes one further in averting the trope. There's a world full of white-to-Ambiguously Brown people (including the protagonist) and a world full of Ambiguously Brown-to-black people.

Also, in a subversion, said sea-dwellers do not actually see themselves as being "human". Among the other DS games, Tales of the Tempest subverts this with a black party member while Tales of Hearts does so with the odd darker-skinned boss enemy. Tales of Vesperia plays this straight among the plot-relevent cast. While Raven might seem Ambiguously Brown, art of his younger self implies that he's actually just white with a tan. While there are darker-skinned characters, they only appear as random bandits and— oh dear. Tales of Rebirth subverts this with Militsa. Also, half the game's characters belong to a Beast Man race: of which, the heroic Eugene, The Evil Genius Tohma and the Big Bad Zilva are darker in colour than most.

Humans Are White / int_3ac36a5c	comment	Transformers: Generation 1 was pretty bad about this as well; the only non-white non-alien recurring character was Raoul, a Hispanic-ish street punk... whose skin tone switched to a lighter color in his second (and final) appearance. They probably figured that Jazz was enough. Later series were better about it, with major recurring humans such as Koji Onishi and black Colonel Franklin. Transformers: Animated itself did a pretty good job averting this. The main recurring human is not white or a human, Detective Fanzone in second place is white, but Issac Sumdac is indian, the mayor of Detroit and his aide are black, as is Corrupt Corporate Executive Porter C. Powell, and backround humans come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Almost all the recurring human bad guys are white, but that's probably to avoid other implications if a Media Watchdog only sees one episode. On another note, during an short story arc in Animated, the five main Autobots turn human. Four out of the 5 are white, to match their voice actors. Don't forget the third-season episode of the original cartoon, Only Human. The four lead Autobots have their minds transferred into Synthoid bodies, which become conveniently white (the episode is also noted for being a crossover with the G.I. Joe cartoon). The live action movies have visibility of non-white races, but with some Unfortunate Implications that are not just limited to the twin Ethnic Scrappy bots.

However, any crowd scene not set explicitly in the war-torn parts Middle East will be all-white.

Humans Are White / int_49a87cb3	comment	In the world of Final Fantasy VII, there are lion-like people, robots, robot cats, ancient beings... and only about four black guys. In Crisis Core, however, just about one in three of the NPCs (for each gender) is black, seemingly at random, in Midgar at the very least. Though, whether it's an intentional aversion of this or just coincidence is anyone's guess. Even before Crisis Core, certain locales (most obviously North Corel) have a large portion (or even majority) of their NPCs rendered with much darker skin. Given the limitations of the engine, counts as an aversion. In Final Fantasy XI, Humes could only be white or vaguely Asian-looking. It wasn't until Final Fantasy XIV where human protagonists in the multiplayer games could have varying skin colors. Similarly, Final Fantasy XIII has only two black men, Sazh and his son. Final Fantasy XV features a somewhat more diverse cast of non-playable characters, however only two characters of any significance are black, including Weskham Armaugh, a close ally of Noctis' father and restaurant owner who in the past fought alongside Regis with two firearms and a rapier. The other was Sania Yeagre, a quest-giving NPC who had a smaller role as a famous biologist and one of the few people who noticed the effects the Starscourge was having on living beings.

In addition to the main cast including a black womannote who, let's not forget, was practically an extra in her original incarnation in Star Trek: The Original Series and an Asian, the original captain of the Kelvin is Pakistani, and Admiral Barnett, the head of the Starfleet Academy Board (who is played by Tyler Perry, incidentally) is black. The extras have various other colors, including of course green. Star Trek Into Darkness adds Thomas Harewood and his family, Harewood being the black British Starfleet officer whom Khan uses to blow up Section 31's weapons lab. However, Into Darkness drew a lot of criticism for the Race Lift of the ethnic Indian Khan Noonien Singh into a white guy (though it's worth noting the original actor was Hispanic).note It was later explained that Khan's Race Lift was the result of Magic Plastic Surgery to create a false identity and conceal his status as an infamous war criminal from the 21st century.

World of Warcraft makes a token effort at sprinkling dark-skinned human NPCs around (albeit as unimportant quest givers or random extras). These darker skins are also available to players in character creation, but are seldom chosen by players.

Humans Are White / int_5cec267a	comment	Defiance: When the Castithan villain Datak Tarr is listing the things he hates about humans to his human nemesis Rafe McCawley, it includes "the smell of your pink skin makes me sick". Rafe, who is of Native American descent and played by Graham Greene, says "Does this skin look pink to you?", to which Datak replies that we all look the same to him. The following season, when Datak's son Alak is upset about his wife Christie, Rafe's daughter, cosplaying as a Castithan, he asks her how she should like it if he painted his skin "human pink". Christie also points out that her skin isn't pink. Obviously, one thing Castithans don't have is superior vision. Contextually this is played straight as while the Votan are an alien immigrant allegory, everything culturally human/"Old World" is monolithically white with just a few Token Minorities sprinkled about like Avatar instead of American Gods (2017) in cultural perspectives. To count: Besides the above example, Rafe is a rich Native American millennial that misses the past yet is essentially like an old white Racist Grandpa toward the Native-like Irathients without him or the show showing any self-awareness about this. For the same reasons, Christie is essentially the naÃ¯ve white woman who married into an ethnic family and put on the alien-equivalent of Blackface that understandably disgusts her husband. Monochrome Casting. The town of Defiance is a re-named future St. Louis. The real/modern St. Louis is a majority black city yet the show, alien future or not, is overwhelmingly/inexplicably white with only a token amount of black and POC characters, made worse by the fact that all the recurring POC humans are dead before the show wraps up. Meaning Nolan should've been the Token Minority instead of Tommy. Related to the above, "pink skin" implies the majority of humans in post-war America are still white despite both the projected future demographic changes and the fact that humans ironically are more diverse-looking than all the Votan races combined (ex. Irathients universally have red hair and bronze skin, Castithans universally have white hair and literally white skin). Covered Up or not, musically, predominantly white genres and artists are played yet there is no rap, R&B, Latin, etc. meaning The Cure were played yet black music like St. Louis's own Nelly was not. And lastly, Joshua Nolan is the literal face of the show whose character arc is the classic repenting White Savior story from the casual racism to the Dark and Troubled Past to the Heroic Sacrifice for the helpless aliens.

This was especially egregious with the playable character. The Noble Human origin has an entirely white family and castle. You have the option of customizing the character to be any race or ethnicity, but no matter how your character look, his/her family will still be white (of course, this is an Acceptable Break from Reality as with the many origins, the developers would need to have fluid racial traits for dozens of characters).

Humans Are White / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda has typically portrayed the dominant Hylian race, along with the closely related Sheikah race, as white (or at least in a lightskinned Mukokuseki style). Meanwhile, in Ocarina of Time, the only dark-skinned folk were the Gerudo, a One-Gender Race of women who rarely ventured out of their desert homeland. Because of this, fans have frequently assumed that any rare dark-skinned Hylians in later games had some Gerudo ancestry. This is averted in Breath of the Wild, where there are quite a few dark-skinned Hylians and light-skinned Gerudo, with subtler variance in skin tone for both groups. Even the King of Hyrule in this game is Ambiguously Brown. However, the Sheikah still appear to be light-skinned only, likely due to being heavily based on ancient Japanese people in this game.

Humans Are White / int_755b343f	comment	Most of the people we see in Halo are white, despite the fact that all the locations visited on Earth are in Africa. Additionally, most of the major Spartan-II characters, including the entirety of Blue Team, are also white. That said, there are still plenty of exceptions: One of the main supporting characters is African-American Sergeant Johnson; other named black characters in the original trilogy include Marcus Banks in Halo 2. As far as Hispanics go, there's Manuel Mendoza in Halo: Combat Evolved. A few of the random unnamed NPCs are also nonwhite, such as a Hispanic marine voiced by Michelle Rodriguez in Halo 2 and a female black marine in Halo 3. It's implied that scientist Ellen Anders from Halo Wars and Halo Wars 2 is of mixed European/East-Asian ancestry like her voice actresses Kim Mai Guest and Faye Kingslee. Halo 3: ODST introduces ODST sniper Kojo "Romeo" Agu and New Mombasa natives Sadie, Dr. Endesha, Jonas, and Commissioner Kinsler, all of whom are black (with the latter four being native African). That said, New Mombasa's population is surprisingly white for an African city, even accounting for the fact that it's a major port city hosting a space elevator. Halo: Reach features three Spartan-III squad members that aren't simply of European ethnicity, although Emile, who has a black voice actor and is depicted as such in concept art, never removes his helmet. There's also black NPC Sergeant Duvall. As shown in these models, Halo 4 has a decent amount of diversity in its human NPCs; it's just not very noticeable in-game due to the fact that most of them wear helmets that cover most of their faces. As far as named characters go, there's black Spartan-IV Carlo Hoya; the other four members of Fireteam Majestic are all white, though. Halo 5: Guardians averts it nicely with Fireteam Osiris; half of the team is non-white, including its leader (and overall Deuteragonist) Jameson Locke. The Expanded Universe contains way more characters of non-European ethnicity than the games do; Fhajad-084, Li-008, Jilan al-Cygni, Zheng Cho, Akio Watanabe, Zhou Heng Lopez, Ngoc Benti, Kopano N'Singile, Raj Singh, Maria Esquival, etc. Serin Osman from the Kilo-Five trilogy, who is of Turkish ancestry, shows up in Halo 4's Spartan Ops co-op campaign, as head of ONI to boot. Additionally, the head of the SPARTAN-IV program has the Arabic name of "Musa".

Humans Are White / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Return of the Archons", the Enterprise beams down two disguised crewmen to a primitive planet. The crewmen are identified as strangers and get in trouble almost immediately. The crewmen seem surprised by this, despite the fact that the planet seems to be inhabited entirely by white folks, and one of the crewmen is Sulu. Painfully applied in Star Trek: Enterprise, which has one African-American guy, one Japanese woman, and the rest of the crew is seemingly made up entirely of whites, except for a minor marine played by a pre-Lost Daniel Dae Kim. Throughout Enterprise, the blue-skinned Andorians repeatedly use "pinkskin" as a derogatory term for humans in general, even after meeting others. Especially weird in their first appearance, where they are using it to differentiate the humans from a group of Vulcans with the exact same skin tones. Lampshaded in one of the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch novels, where Shran starts to call Mayweather "pinkskin" and then realises that his skin isnâ€™t pink, apparently for the first time. Though most of the aliens in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine are white, the human cast is quite colorful, including two African-Americans (one of whom is the lead), Bashir (whose actor is of half-Arab, half-white descent, though both of his parents were played by Brian George, an Iraqi Jewish actor who usually plays Indian or Arab characters and by an Egyptian actress), and one white man (who clearly identifies as Irish more than white American). In addition, several black guest stars appear throughout the show (though most of them are love interests for the African-descended regulars). There is a 'behind the scenes' book that claims that the only way race impacted casting for Deep Space Nine's initial regulars was Jake having to be visibly the same race as his father. The casting directors decided that it would be unrealistic for alien species to have evolved the same 'races' as humans have. A majority of white Bajorans are shown to have red or sandy hair, for instance, and while Asians were cast as Bajorans, no Asians were cast as Klingons and only one black actor was cast as a Bajoran, as a walk-on. Side-note: of the first five Trek series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was the only one in which none of the starring characters was a white person from the United States. TOS had Kirk (Iowa) and Bones (Tennessee), TNG had Riker (Alaska, with ancestors from New York), Star Trek: Voyager had Janeway (Indiana) and Paris (San Francisco, son of an admiral), Enterprise had Archer (San Francisco but grew up in upstate New York) and Tucker (Florida). Sisko was from New Orleans and visits it a few times in the show's run, but is African-American. The one white human, O'Brien, is from Ireland. Bonus points: near the end of the series, in "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang", Sisko even criticizes the Vic Fontaine holodeck program of a 1960s Las Vegas casino lounge club, for not being Humans Are White in-universe. It's programmed to ignore the races of characters and human players in it, rather than put a bunch of offensive racism in it — but Sisko argues that this is essentially whitewashing history, because black people did face a lot of racism in the real-life 1960s. He points out that most such clubs didn't accept black people as customers. Kasidy disagrees, however, saying it's how the '60s should have been in real life, i.e., an idealized fantasy is good sometimes.

Humans Are White / int_8ac4e993	comment	Gundam has evolved a lot since its beginnings. Though it is at times a little hard to tell the 'white' people apart from the Asians since they used to make not such a big fuss about it. Mobile Suit Gundam, had at an Afro-Argentine character, Ryu. (He might also have been black to fit the trope) and the Indian Lalah Sune. Apart from that most people looked a lot the same but were probably evenly distributed between Asians and white ones. Zeta Gundam had Tag Along Kid Shinta. Gundam ZZ features Rakan Dahkaran, a ruthless and rather dangerous ace pilot that heavily contrasted with the recurrent goofy Bunny Ears Lawyers that preceded him. Several episodic stories set when the cast travel through Africa begin a trend showing the Universal Century has small populations on Earth that ethnically and cultural resemble the modern day, including a two-parter about the African Liberation Front, who oppose cultural assimilation into the Earth Federation. Victory Gundam featured at least one female, Afro-American main cast member and a couple of other kids who were not white. Also, the origin of Shakti are up to debate, with her name suggesting Indian descent. G Gundam Chandra (Indian), Conta (Kenyan), Chico (Mexican), Frank (Cuban) are the fighters other than white or East Asian shown. ∀ Gundam's Loran Cehak is definitely brown-skinned, as is Earthrace noble Guin Lineford, villain Agrippa Maintainer, and side characters Keith, Miashei, and Joseph (with varying shades), along with plenty of nameless background folks. It's difficult to pin actual ethnic origins on them, however, given that some are from the moon and they are frequently dark-skinned blondes. (Plus it's 10,000 years in the future and humans are recovering from a self-induced bottleneck, so gene pools have been basically put in a blender.) Gundam Seed Stargazer has Shams Couza, a black mecha pilot fighting alongside with Mudie (white), and Sven (ambigously mixed White-Asian). Gundam 00 has at least two black secondary characters: Graham Aker's late wingman Daryl Dodge and the president of The Federation. There's also Ambiguously Brown Johan Trinity (who seems to be a different race than his siblings. They're Designer Babies). Despite his Japanese Code Name, the main character Setsuna F. Seiei is Kurdish, along with his ex-mentor/arch-enemy Ali Al Saachez. Princess Marina Ismail and her right-hand Shirin Bakhtiar are Persian (Azadistan is of Persian etymology) Fellow Gundameister Allelujah Haptism is Kazakh. And of course, there are all the other cast members with apparently multiracial origins, as shown through their names. However, any crowd scene not set explicitly in the war-torn parts Middle East will be all-white. (E.g., during the Battle of the Oribtal Elevator, we see the populations of several cities explictly in central Africa, and they aren't black.) Gundam Wing had a large background cast of Arab characters, in the form of Quatre's private army. However, although also of Arabian descent, space-born Quatre was blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Justified with his surname "Winner" which suggested mixed heritage.

It's also been learned that Neanderthals were pale-skinned, and some even redheads.

Of the four races of "humans" in Tamriel, three (the Roman/Italian Imperials, Anglo/French Bretons, and Norse Nords) are primarily white.note Obviously, you can set the skin tone on your Player Character of these races very dark if you wish, and as of Skyrim, there are some Ambiguously Brown NPCs of these races for the first time, such as Adrianne◊, Tacitus◊ and Florentius◊. The Redguards are the fourth human race, and they are dark-skinned with their culture being a mish-mash of Arabs, North Africans, and even a little Japanese influence. However, the Redguards have a different origin (they come from the now-lost continent of Yokuda) and have a very different pantheon/belief system that is as alien to the other human races (who all likely share a common ancestor and have similar belief systems) as it is to the various races of Elves. The few descriptions of the supposedly extinct (or absorbed by the Tsaesci) Men of Akavir describe their physical appearance as similar to that of real life east Asians, another aversion if true.

Humans Are White / int_9f02efb1	comment	EverQuest: Played as straight as possible because there are three human races, but two of them go by other names. The gods originally created the Barbarians, whom the game developers modeled after Celtic influences. Living in Everfrost Peaks required the race to be rugged, burly, and strong. Over time, Barbarians moved down into the lowland plains of Karana, where they adapted to the more temperate environments, and gained more intelligence as they no longer had to devote so much time to survival. The Human race that resulted are all white and represent medieval European cultures and societies. As more Humans began to spread out, a group of them who dedicated their lives to learning knowledge and practicing magic split off and moved to the tropical continent of Odus, eventually adapting further into the Erudites, who have the highest intelligence stat and are among the best magic users among every playable race, and are all dark-skinned.

Commander Laurel Takashima, a Japanese woman with a substantial role in the "bridge" command crew, but she was Put on a Bus for the main series because her actress Tamlyn Tomita wanted to focus on film work, and replaced with Lt. Commander Susan Ivanova (a Russian Jew). Although Commander Jeffrey Sinclair's love interest Carolyn Sykes, a white woman, was also Put on a Bus and replaced with Catherine Sakai, a Japanese woman, for the main series. Chief medical officer Doctor Stephen Franklin (and his father, General Richard Franklin, who appears in one episode) are apparently African Americans. Dr. Franklin replaced Dr. Benjamin Kyle from the pilot, who was also black. With the exception of Dr. Franklin, the core cast and most actors with speaking parts were white. The show does better on ethnic diversity when you consider minor characters (e.g., Earth Alliance President Luis Santiago; Senator Hidoshi) and the extras playing the human population of the station. Puzzlingly, however, there are hardly any Indians or Chinese (Asian characters are usually Japanese).

The main recurring human is not white or a human, Detective Fanzone in second place is white, but Issac Sumdac is indian, the mayor of Detroit and his aide are black, as is Corrupt Corporate Executive Porter C. Powell, and backround humans come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Almost all the recurring human bad guys are white, but that's probably to avoid other implications if a Media Watchdog only sees one episode. On another note, during an short story arc in Animated, the five main Autobots turn human. Four out of the 5 are white, to match their voice actors. Don't forget the third-season episode of the original cartoon, Only Human. The four lead Autobots have their minds transferred into Synthoid bodies, which become conveniently white (the episode is also noted for being a crossover with the G.I. Joe cartoon).

Humans Are White / int_c43df4d8	comment	The Doctor Who story "The Ark in Space" seems to have only white people representing the future of humanity. Robert Holmes had not had this as part of his original vision for the story — in fact, he had wanted Vira to be Haitian (partly to avert this, partly for Rule of Symbolism as she was a medical officer tasked with reviving people put into a living-death state). The character as seen on screen is white and British, presumably because of the lack of access to Haitian actresses in the BBC's low-budget programming in 1975. The show is much better about it these days. In the old serials you could go quite some time between non-white person sightings. Martha Jones was the show's first series-long black companion (Series 3, in 2006), and of course there's Recurrer Mickey in the Ninth and Tenth Doctors eras (Series 1-4). Later in the Twelfth Doctor era, more black characters appeared in major roles: Danny Pink was a key recurring character in Series 8 (though, awkwardly, he ended up in a similar Romantic Runner-Up position to Mickey storywise), and Bill Potts was the principal companion in Series 10 (and the first lesbian companion in the televised canon). Of the three main companions associated with the Thirteenth Doctor, only one is Caucasian, and an additional non-white recurring character also appears in Series 11. Moreover, the people stuck in the situation-of-the-week with the Doctor and his/her/their companions will almost never be all-white. When it comes to the future, "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" has India's space program as the main people dealing with said spaceship! The Expanded Universe, particularly Doctor Who (Titan), has additional non-white companion characters.

Avon assures her that the planet was colonized a long time ago, back when there were laws in place requiring colony projects to include a proportionate number of all ethnic groups. Basically, affirmative action in space. The implication is that once the Federation overturned those laws, colony projects suddenly got a lot whiter. However in that very same episode, the supposedly diverse planet has an all-white cast, except for a single black soldier who's a Federation trooper. Clearly whoever cast the extras hadn't read the script.

Nelson Bridwell Handwaved the lack of black characters in previous stories by pointing out that most black Americans and Europeans are descended from people brought over as slaves; since Krypton never had that type of slave trade, the ethnicities remained relatively localized. On the contrary, Vathlo already had a comparably advanced culture when Krypton's European-analogues first encountered them, and First Contact ended up being peaceful. Later Post-Crisis stories like New Krypton depicted the population of Krypton as being much more diverse, seemingly retconning the previous explanations.

In "A Peanut Scorned", Chuck expresses puzzlement upon encountering Patty's bodyguard, Franklin, asking her if his darker skin is some strange kind of mutation. In "Blockhead's War", Chuck remarks to Hughie X, after meeting his family, how weird it is to see more than one black person at the time, comparing seeing three of them together to encountering a convention. It then also becomes a justified trope when Hughie reveals that during the Great Offscreen War, the Elbonians developed a Synthetic Plague meant to either kill every person of African descent, or turn their skin white, and that they for the most part succeeded. Hughie and his family only avoided that fate due to having some Japanese ancestry.

This led to an all-white cast for shows such as Beverly Hillbillies and The Andy Griffith Show, and only very occasional non-white characters in shows such as Gunsmoke. The producers of Andy Griffith admitted they wanted black characters on the show many times but could not do so for fear of southern TV affiliates pulling the series. They were able to subvert that after the show became Mayberry R.F.D.. Even after southern TV stations began to relax their standards, racist tensions were still present - the kiss between Kirk and Uhura in Star Trek was filmed specifically to avoid showing their lips touching simply to avoid southern network affiliates pulling the show.

Then again, given the availability of easy facial and body reconstruction, there's no way to know if she's genuinely black, yet another white girl who had her melanin cranked up for style's sake, or if "Caucasian" is just now the "in" look for everybody else in that particular season.

Humans Are White / int_f1da64b5	comment	In The Lord of the Rings, the humans and other humanoid races are all white. White extras generally played "good" races while non-white extras were put into costumes as orcs. A British Pakistani woman, who flew all the way to New Zealand to audition as a Hobbit extra in The Hobbit was bluntly told that she was too dark to be a hobbit by the casting director. Said casting-director was later fired by Peter Jackson (accompanied with a public online apology) after the wave of anger on the internet caused by this incident, and yet the casting practice stuck regardless. In fairness, Tolkien did model the Middle Earth setting specifically on medieval Europe as it was perceived at the time (i.e. all-white), but it still sucks for actors of colour who don't want to be orcs. In The Hobbit, by contrast, some of the citizens of Laketown are non-white â€“ which fits with the town's location in the east and history of being a trading hub. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power also contrasts the original trilogy by having several characters of color as Canon Foreigners and changing the race of of some canon characters like Queen Miriel.
