It's entirely possible to watch all nine seasons of The Office without asking the obvious: Is Jim Halpert Looking at Me? The six-hundred-fifty times Jim looks at us and the six-hundred-fifty sins to which his famous glare responds result in a training that confers viewers with the ability to mime the mime; to recover Jim's stupid, vampiric face by matching it's subtle permutations, to dismiss the naïve exertions of others as stupid and embarrassing; to find success, comfort, and safety in the image of the pitiless scientist, the capitalist boss, and the fascist father.

In films, the Magic Negro is a stock character whose supernatural gifts promote the success of a White protagonist. A character with parallel traits found in a number of mystery series is the Magic Indian, who has supernatural connections and abilities unavailable to others. In his Walt Longmire mysteries, Craig Johnson develops a strong supernatural thread with the agency of Native American characters who can be considered Magic Indians. While Johnson's Magic Indians share similarities with Magic Negroes, they exhibit key differences in the way their spirituality is presented that make them more realistic characters serving an educational function.
