Is Uncle Tom actually an example? He primarily devotes himself to helping \'\'black\'\' people, not white people -- he\'s a Christ figure, sure, but he primarily helps the downtrodden and oppressed (that is, his fellow slaves, by helping them escape, covering for them, preaching to them, teaching them salvation, etc.) That completely subverts the UnfortunateImplications of the trope (which is about a minority who devotes their talents to serving a privileged member of the majority.)
