The black guy almost always dies first.
I felt they've gone away from this for a while now. Probably since LL Cool J kept commenting on it all the way through Deep Blue Sea and ended up being one of two survivors
Nah, Deep Blue Sea came out in 1999. Scream did it in 1996 when the black camera man for Courtney Cox's character hid off-camera most of the movie and waited for the horror to resolve, because he "knew what happens to black men in these movies." Event Horizon (1997) also had a black male crew member survive to counter the "black people die early in horror movies" cliche. Those are the first two movies I think of when it comes to horror movies breaking free from that stereotype.
Everyone who works for child protection or an adoption bureau or something like that

Blacks are a disproportionately high number of government employees. That is a real thing.
