Green Arrow says the Justice League should recruit Black Lightning. The Flash (Barry Allen) accuses him of tokenism. (Justice League of America 1979)

In "The Other History of the DC Universe" (2021), the moment is revisited from Black Lightning's perspective.

Not only is there only one black character important enough to make the poster, but he's the smallest one on there. It just makes me tired.

The tokenism here gives me anxiety. We really should be beyond this by now.

Good morning lovers. I’m no fan of tokenism. I want justice and compensation for our First Nations families.

Today I celebrate trailblazers like Maxine Noel who is a beautiful and talented Canadian artist. ❤️

This is Tokenism. You're praising one of the most disrespectul ways to be "inclusive".

Annoy devs to make actual original content, with African mythos, don't praise blackwashing.

I would love to play a game where Anansi is the main "villain" and you get help from Papa Legba. https://t.co/TX3VtNCene

I love the Perfuma trans HC. Not because I believe it is legit rep. Stamping an identity on a character, when fact is never acknowledged in-show, is mere tokenism for the sake of inclusion points. But damn do I love seeing transphobes pissed off about the mere idea of it!😈😁

This is why I am not satisfied with an LGBTQ character being added to a story for the sake of tokenism. Because in dubs/edits you can pretend it never happened. Good representation comes where you can't edit it out without fundamentally changing the story.

Yep, you read it right. One of the upcoming characters, Moonstrike, has been confirmed to be trans. And lol "tropey", I'll be surprised there's even going to be a reference to the character being trans. Like all good characters that exist purely because of tokenism.

Dear Hollywood,

When inclusion isn't mindful of the community being represented, it's just good ol' fashioned tokenism. Almost makes me wish we never asked for representation. But nah. Now I'm even more determined to get my voice out there.

You'll be hearing from me.

is a funny hashtag for the innumerable hours folks like myself put into making visual art, cause my skin color doesn't change but my skill level does constantly. Tap in because you like it, not for tokenism. 👋🏾

Token from South Park. I chose Token to represent the concept of tokenism. I loved South Park when I was younger, I’m not sure how I feel about it now. Unfortunately, this won’t be the last token black character I’ll be drawing this month.

C practiced what he preached, with women frequently occupying traditionally masculine roles at a level that transcended tokenism. This includes background characters (such as both pilot and co-pilot) and more featured characters (such as the genius scientist). 3/9

I fully recognize that Launchpad's sweater is tokenism but it still means a lot to me.
