"White savior" is a trope in recent (last couple of centuries) Western literature and media, not applied to all of human history worldwide. Said media isn't the world, but its biases do exist and are very particular.

"Western". Why don't you say Anglo-Saxon instead.

Because that seems oddly specific considering I'm not just talking about people of Germanic descent? I guess?

Please give an example of a white savior story that is not from an Anglo-Saxon/Germanic source.

90% of Hollywood. One particularly notorious recent example being Jake Sully from "Avatar". Is Hollywood specifically Germanic white or something?

Tryin' really hard to think of white saviour stories in my language, and drawing a blank. :( It's more like rich saviour to the poor underclass usually.
