A band of non-white natives dwelling far off the beaten path in some exotic locale who have ... unusual ... dietary requirements and complex social structures revolving around them, and who view the appearance of wayward white explorers in much the same way [[The Simpsons (animation)|Homer Simpson]] would view a box of donuts arriving on his doorstep under its own power. In short, this is the [[I'm a Humanitarian]] trope bought in bulk so the storyteller can pass the savings on to you, and set in an exotic location for that special something extra. Expect to see lots of blood and Europeans tied to (or run through by) a spit while turning over a fire.
 
ThisThe is'''Cannibal Tribe''' trope that plays into the remaining [[Acceptable Targets]] status of primitive peoples, pointing a finger at them and declaring how dangerous such vicious savages are to poor, innocent white people who don't mean anyone any harm.
 
Sub-trope of [[I'm a Humanitarian]]. Compare/contrast [[Cannibal Clan]], which is more or less the non-racist version of this trope, where the cannibals are typically white-trash types suffering from an advanced case of backwoods degeneracy.
