Needs Help (Alt Names crowner 13 Dec 2017): Positive Discrimination

Go To

To-do list:

  • The trope refers to when the Token Minority and/or token female can do no wrong. Remove any examples that don't fit that definition (such as misuse that refers to the preexisting meaning of "positive discrimination"). In addition, since the Laconic used to reference Mary Sue, which is Flame Bait, complaining may need to be cleaned up.

    Original post 
Most if not all of the examples on the page are just "White male is not superior". I'm not kidding. That's all the examples. Even worse is the laconic definition.

When the Token Minority is a Mary Sue.

Yeah, this should really be Flame Bait or just cut completely. This trope seems to be attracting racism (plus, all Mary Sue tropes are Flame Bait).

I can't see the crowner. What course was decided?

Yeah, someone has to do. You might, for example.

I deleted the "black scientists" paragraph.

Been almost a year and we're at 386 for the amount of wicks that we need to move or remove.

Giving the thread a nudge.

Since TRS is backlogged, I'm moving the matters to the cleanup thread for stalled efforts.

I slept, but not for very long. I'll probably work on this within the next few days if the thread's still around, but I don't want to burn myself out since I helped dewick three of the four threads I Morgued earlier.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
