... is, what? Six stories? Seven stories? Ten if they're small? I guarantee you there are more than ten women writers doing excellent work in sffh. As Cat says, a Very Special Issue is tokenism. (It also suggests, subliminally, that women writers are fragile flowers and can't compete with men head-to-head, that our stories wouldn't be good enough to fill a whole issue without this Special enclave, ...
... the X-Men films, which at times I find a bit unfair. Well, except in the case of Storm, because 1) You kind of ask for it casting a high-profile actress, 2) It reeks of tokenism, and 3) Storm didn't really have any defining character trait in the movies, even given more screentime. Is she hot-tempered? Cruelly pragmatic? Inquisitive? But like, when people get annoyed at how little development ...
... or multi-denominational. They were simply cast that way, in a base and demeaning attempt to rainbow up a play that is extraordinarily Conservative Caucasian Christian in delivery and dialogue alike. It is crass tokenism at its most nauseating. Speaking of nauseating, Norman Rockwell's Anus is, so far as I can tell, a vanity piece project from a playwright who has essentially just had a two and a...
... woah that is totally random. # 13:36 Won't it be cold? RT @designphilly: "Philadelphia Premiere: Typeface" Friday, Dec 4 6pm at Piazza at Schmidts bit.ly/4BAtEJ # 13:44 @ titlecharacter yay tokenism # 13:48 @ ThePhaggot oops, sorry I didn't get to meet you last night.

... I loved this excerpt from the local coverage on what the Girls got riled up about: They talked about tokenism, how the art world showcases the same artists of colour over and over instead of showcasing the diversity of artists of colour. They asked: "Is tokenism a solution to the problem of exclusion or is it an extension to the problem of exclusion?" Or,...
... is true because I have experienced it. It's easy for me to come up with examples of TV shows whose casts are not diverse, or who display some superficial diversity but indulge in tokenism or harmful stereotypes while doing so, but when I consider the long-running, heavily narrativist roleplaying campaigns I've been involved in, diversity is readily apparent. To take examples from just one game, ...
...Literature.blogspot (11/2009) Debbie Reese (Nambe Pueblo) lists dozens of stereotypes -- war paint, squaws, papooses, scalping, war paths and chiefs. Her list goes on and on. 2. Tokenism to full-board inclusion. Indian characters are included in folk stories about Thanksgiving and Columbus. What real Indian can you name? Their history and people are part of all American ...
..., but I want to fit so many things in that it's getting a little lengthy. I'm trying to tie this controversy together with other examples of yellowface in the past and present, cultural appropriation, tokenism, etc. but I'm afraid it might be a little too much information in one letter. Have any suggestions? I just want this problem to appear like the dire one it is because not enough people see ...
... with the money? They made one of the main characters black (well, as black as Halle Berry, anyway) to try to take the curse off things, but they may have pissed away whatever goodwill their tokenism could have produced by giving her an unlockable tribal outfit . Racist? Sexist? So much to choose from. Fortunately, sexism is acceptable in video games. Norm Levitt, one of the authors of Higher ...
Today my friend and I went to an art exhibit depicting Black womanhood. Although the museum advertised that the exhibit would counter stereotypical images of Black womanhood, the exhibit reinforced negative stereotypes about Black womanhood. For example, one display featured a Black woman's body's using cow fur. This served to reinforce the stereotype of Black women as animals. While I understand...
