It\'s great how this entire description has exactly one sentence that admits to the possibility of casting a black character without it being tokenism. I say one sentence, one clause of a longer sentence really.

In what sense is news reporters usually being one-man one-woman teams an example of this? The world is fifty percent women, they\\\'re representing that proportion precisely. Yes, the way they actually \\\'\\\'treat\\\'\\\' those women is less than ideal, but this particular accusation seems to rely on some seriously circular logic.

\\\"You hired a woman! Did you only hire her because she\\\'s a woman? You must have done, you\\\'d only hire a minority for the sake of tokenism. I know women aren\\\'t a minority, but... people like you treat them as if they were, so it still counts...\\\"
