Also, his character in Django Unchained was an inversion of the Magic Negro trope: a very white character who exists solely to develop the main character.

Was he magic? I don't remember that bit. Or is that also inverted, the non-magic white guy.

Not actually magic but the trope is the negro in the past would've been "magic" because they help the main character in some way.
