In all seriousness, while I think there is relevancy to the 'white messiah complex' as a major and repeated thematic element, it also occurs in other contexts, such as the Normans/ over Anglo-Saxon theme in the play/ movie Becket and other such contexts. I think we could go post-post-modern and extrapolate it out to a left brain/ right brain context, and the super organizing theme is not so much racial or tribal or cultural as a logical/ existential kind of mutual need.

It all comes down to Ying and Yang, doesn't it?
