i think the reason that "magical negro" is considered offensive is that it only makes sense (as a trope) when the advice is coming from an unexpected source, which shows that the filmmakers considered "negro" an unexpected source. here the treatment of a person of actual lower class is included as a point of reference in the interview process. it is implied that previous iterations of the hiring process failed to weed out people who were rude when the thought they could get away with it. what are you thinking is the implied purpose of such a strange test?
