This one is at least a little legitimate, ancient alien theories about pyramids and such kind of take away from the capabilities of pre-industrial humans - though it's not especially racist if you consider that ancient pale-skinned peoples like the ones who would've built Stonehenge are also dismissed with such ideas. But Lindsay wouldn't bother with those cases.
In what ducking universe are minorities in major Hollywood blockbusters commonly being depicted as "disposable objects"? For fucks sake the only ones that have had high body counted in recent years still had the vast majority of the deaths be white guys.
there is the trope in slasher/ action movies that the one black character will get killed off early as a way to increase the stakes for the rest of the characters but its not exactly that prevalent any more from everything ive seen lately, I dont think it was ever a concious decision besides this happened in some films i like I'll follow everything they did, and most of the films ive seen it in werent exactly blockbusters.
Honestly I'm not even sure if this cliche was ever really that prevalent, or at least not mainstream, considering when you look at the slasher and horror films that were huge hits or received cult followings the vast majority of the ones with minority characters have them die either last or second to last. If they even have them at all.
I would love to see a film in which the villain was non-white, but aside from rare examples like Sam Jackson (who is contractually obligated to appear in at least 55 films a year or else a bus will explode) that's a pipe dream.
Off the top of my head:
