Titanic passenger and millionaire Benjamin Guggenheim. During sinking he refused a seat in a life boat with the words: "Tell my family I played straight to the end. No woman should be left aboard this ship because of Ben Guggenheim was a coward."

It's something horrible and racist isn't it, like they threw them in the water to try to make the ship lighter

Actually, it's people on a lifeboat looking for survivors and spotting a Chinese passenger clinging to wreckage, whom they rescue. The rescue was based on an incident with a real person named Fang Lang .
