I hope this trailer is misleading.

Fridging the gay brown girl as motivation for Ellie feels gross.

Even if it is misleading, and that's not what happens, that's clearly what the trailer wants us to think happens, which is gross on a whole other level.

Yeah, the Bury Your Gays trope was alive and well in the first game (Riley and Frank), and it’s definitely the gut punch that Naughty Dog would build up to top the first game (unless that sequence with Ellie’s mom is the intro), and it’s clearly the thing that would send her on a roaring rampage of revenge/rescue.

I have a wavering trust with Naughty Dog, though. They haven’t been sloppy with their storytelling yet, but they’re not above cheap emotional manipulation, either.
