Personally I think if we keep on calmly accepting that trope as an audience, and not calling studios out when they use it, we are guilty of perpetuating it. I think you made a good point, and I'm sorry someone else got bent out of shape. The sad fact is that when a movie needs a sacrificial character, a redshirt, to show the main characters that things are getting real, they use a black actor. They get their cast-diversity kudos without having to sacrifice a white character or have a black actor as a main character. It is racism, a subtler sort, but racism nonetheless and the white movie going audience ought to join the black campaign groups in calling it out. Frequently.
