Tokenism

Tokenism refers to a policy or practice of limited inclusion of members of a minority group, usually creating a false appearance of inclusive practices, intentional or not. Typical examples in real life and television include minority races (such as a black character in a mainly white cast, or vice versa) and women. Classically, this character has some reduced capacity compared to the other characters. Their difference may be overemphasized or made exotic.
