I believe that this trope is either in a state of decay or at least in danger of decay.

Even though one sentence in the description of the trope clearly says A black character who's shown to be just as relevant as their white counterparts does not count as this trope, there are still plenty of examples (particularly in the "Film" and "Live-Action TV" folders) that ignore this rule.

Furthermore, even though it says that Real Life examples should be kept off of the page, one was snuck in underneath Film (the infamous 4 Little Girls example) and almost all of those listed under the "Other" folder look questionable.

I can't deal with these forums; they anger up the blood too much.

Your best bet right now would be to remove those problem entries from the page.

If you want an extensive TRS effort, you should provide a wick check for how it's used across the wiki.
