That's known as the "white savior". (Panel L3 in the graphic) The implication is that the relationship is asymmetrical. A textbook example from Hollywood is The Blind Side with Quinton Aaron and Sandra Bullock. (A film with a lot of other racial issues besides the overall white savior bias.)

@freemo

I've found that racism on the left is also biased against people of color, but they just aren't as open about it, even to themselves.

For example, all those Hollywood liberals (progressives) who chastise racism but then turn around and produce horribly racist films -- 8 of 10 films coming out of Hollywood are racially biased. And most of them feature those same "progressive" actors, directors and producers.

Finally getting around to some electronics work, I've a few questions for those in the know...

Planning to start off with some op amps and basic RLC circuits

1) Looking at ~£22 for a soldering iron kit and ~£10 for basic component kit. Are there any pitfalls or good deals I should be aware of?

2) Op amps need an AC supply, loath to buy a ready made one however. Worth building a power supply from scratch?
( @freemo I know you recommended building some LED/RLC stuff first but I can't find the post and since I'll be needing an AC source soon anyway)

3) Any other practical considerations to bear in mind?

Well I fractured my leg not even a week into my egypt trip. Ffffuuunnnnn

What is your favorite dialect of the American language (sometimes erroneously called English)?

So i had yo switch hotels as there was no easy access yo the deep ocean at my last one. Slippery rocks made it impossible to get in safely. Anyway at a new hotel and got 15 minutes if open ocean swimming in before the sun went down and the life guard yelled at me. Still had a lot of fun. I plan to be in the ocean all day tomorrow. Tonight im gonna be lazy and get some seafood room service.
