That’s a hard one. To me, it’s when there is only one POC character on a show full of caucasian people. They are the “token” to prove the show has representation. The worst is when there is a POC gay character but everyone else is straight and white. Another example is when people have that one POC friend. Seeeee I’m not racist, I have a black friend!”. I can’t speak for others that’s just my perspective.
🤣🤣🤣 I used to love Hallmark Christmas movies. I grew tired of how white they were. That’s when I found k-dramas (not how but when) and I jumped in with both feet. They were like long Hallmark movies.

It just came to my mind and now I’m curious: @thatstp how do you differentiate between representation and tokenism

They’re an improvement on Hallmark movies in every way in my opinion.
