Space has a lot of people in it. Way, way more people than science tells us there should be. There are blue people, green people, orange people, purple people, people that eat people, Proud Warrior Race Guys, Scary Dogmatic Aliens, Big Creepy-Crawlies, Energy Beings, and even the odd Sufficiently Advanced Alien with a very familiar name. And most of them even speak English. But there's still probably just the one black guy. This trope can also appear in alternate dimensions or histories as well as in futuristic space stories. Examples of Humans Are White include:

  • Space has a lot of people in it. Way, way more people than science tells us there should be.

And most of them even speak English. But there's still probably just the one black guy. Oh, and even better luck finding Asians, Latinos, or, Heaven forbid, an Arab or Native American. You will hardly ever find an Indian, even though they're the third-biggest Asian minority in the US and the biggest Asian minority in the UK. And there are never any non-assimilated Jews. This trope can also appear in alternate dimensions or histories as well as in futuristic space stories. In older live-action works, this occurs because the great majority of actors were white, and the Hays Code prohibited mixed-race romantic pairings of characters and the actors who played them. Note that Humans Are White doesn't have to be about white people exclusively. If a Bollywood movie set in a distant, alien-filled galaxy features an all-Indian cast with other races in minor roles, and there is no in-universe explanation for the imbalance, then it's an example of this trope. Contrast with Politically-Correct History. Also contrast with In the Future, Humans Will Be One Race, in which no race can be suspiciously over-represented because there is only one race to begin with. Please do not confuse it with its Sister Trope, Monochrome Casting. Compare with how whites are blonde. Examples of Humans Are White include:
