I've been thinking on this all week
Does anyone know of a Western world-based source text where all or almost all of the character deaths or departures are the straight white men? In texts where the character pool is significantly more varied than just straight white men, obviously.
Does such a source text even fucking exist? And I'm not trying to sound snide or trolly, I just honestly don't know, though I have my suspicions.
Tonight I tried to keep my story from becoming a full on musical because that's a bit hard to make work in the written word, and I watched Community for the first time. It was cute!

I can't recall having come across such a thing before, either. Oh, and I need to remember to disqualify the rare but common enough to be annoying trope where the heroic white dude sacrifices himself all heroically to save the ragtag group of minorities.

Euurrrrgh but White Dudes Can Save Everybody, don't you know? :(
