That's an interesting interpretation, but not how the scene is actually presented. I love the movie, but it's a white savior movie in every respect.

    I wouldn't say my interpretation makes it any less of a white savior story. It still takes a quirked up white boy to believe in investing in something others had dismissed (motif repeated during the bit where he knights everyone at the defense of Jerusalem)
