The token black girls of TV appreciation thread!

[p4poetic]

I wanted to make something more original and creative than the average 'appreciation' thread, so this is the topic I thought would be fun :oldrazz: Though my idea of 'fun' might be kind of lame, but whatever.

If anyone remembers any others, surely post them.

Stacey Dash (Dionne from Clueless)

You're forgetting the original: Tootie!

I love me some Stacey Dash, but does her character from Clueless really count as a "token"? Half the cast was black.

[Wiseman]

There aint nothing token about them *******

Edit: Phew, I'm happy the censors caught that

[The Lizard]

OK, those are all kind of old school. How about someone new...

Jasika Nicole as Astrid on Fringe...a cutie!

[Sawyer]

Someone do Zoe from Firefly.

[Pink Ranger]

Someone do Zoe from Firefly.

I disagree about Mrs. Fishburne, I think Joss put her there because they worked together on previous projects like Angel. Could you imagine anybody else in that role?

The token black female is almost always a result of a white female protaganist, and the need to give the latter a foil to give her some "flavour" and make the white woman seem more urbane. Similar to why the token black male is paired with a white male protaganist.

Well remember, Lark Vorhees' character on Saved By The Bell was originally supposed to be an upper class jewish girl.

True. I believe that Donald Faison was on the show as well.

Firefly was before she came over to Angel.

Dammit! Do I get put on probation for making this faux-pas?

[Manic]

Yep. It was Dash, Faison, another black guy, and two white girls. It was a TV show about rich kids from Beverly Hills, and its cast had a 3:2 black:white ratio. I think the only token on that show was a Token Parent/Old Guy.

Eh, she still felt like a token to me.

Haha. :hehe:Actually she was the token Australian. And that's true particularly when there were two female rangers in the time, they had to have one white girl and one ethnic girl; except maybe Turbo and In Space where it was one asian and one latina.
