There is a black actor Will Smith who has multiple messiah movies out:
-I Am Legend (where he sacrifices himself for the continuation of the white race, plus there are blatant christist references)
-Some movie where he plays a savior IRS agent (really!)
Now there is another messiah movie with a black actor: The Book of Eli.
The trend continued with an Indian as the Messiah in Slumdog.
So they are contracting out the messiah role. and have advanced themselves to quasi-anticolonial roles as in Avatar, which is a recasting of pocahontas, phineas fogg, last samurai, dances with wolves, etc.
