| 17 | Called a "twofer" by media analysts, and usually spoken of as ''intersectionality'' in a RealLife context. A cast member or show participant who represents two TokenMinority groups at once. More stark when most other participants on a show are white males. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Many news broadcasting teams have a white male, and a female minority member (usually Black, Asian, or brown-often of Hispanic heritage). This allows them to have a diverse appearing team even though the number of people on their crew is small. This "twofer" is a practice that is common in the industry and is commonly criticized by media watchdogs and minority interest groups. In particular, the complaint that comes up frequently is that it limits the roles and jobs available to men of color. Unfortunately, some of these complaints are themselves rife with UnfortunateImplications, since they tend to treat minorities as an either-or phenomenon, so e. g. only heterosexual males count as non-twofer representatives of an ethnic group, while gays and women, as well as members of religious minorities, fall under automatic suspicion. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Of course, women are not actually a minority in terms of numbers, but count as such in media because of the long history of them being marginalized and are considered a 'sociological minority'. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Before adding examples, remember that the character must actually ''be'' a token within the context of the story. If a show focuses on Black and Hispanic lesbians, then the whole cast wouldn't fall under this trope because gay women of color are not presented as tokens. But if one character is transgender and disabled, they would. And {{Fantasy Counterpart Culture}}s only count if they're acknowledged as minorities in-universe. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Also, it should be noted that [[TruthInTelevision there can be strong correlations between belonging to one type of minority and another]]. For instance, in a global context, most adherents of non-Christian religions also happen to belong to non-"white" ethnic groups, which from Western perspective makes most Muslims[[note]] although several Balkan countries have large Muslim but ethnically slavic populations [[/note]], Hindus, Buddhists, and others worldwide automatic "twofers" (and the female ones "threefers"). And strangely enough, many twofers are Black and Jewish, yet there is almost no acknowledgment of Ethiopian Jews (Beta Israel). Not to mention the fact that race has no correlation with whether someone is LGBT, disabled, or otherwise a member of non-cultural minorities. In RealLife this is called a "double minority", with people who fit into these often having to face extra prejudices (e.g. lesbians of color struggle against racism, sexism, ''and'' homophobia). |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Technically a similar concept to NinjaPirateZombieRobot except without having anything to do with the RuleOfCool. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Note: Obviously, this trope is '''not''' limited to combining just ''two'' TokenMinority groups. |

| 34 | |
| 35 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 36 | |
| 37 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 38 | * ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': In early arcs, Casca is the only recurring woman, while also being AmbiguouslyBrown. Averted in later volumes as the cast expands and gets far more recurring female characters and other AmbiguouslyBrown characters from different parts of the world start to appear. The first anime plays this trope completely straight due to only adapting those early arcs. |
| 39 | %%* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Kaname Tosen is Black and [[HandicappedBadass blind]]. |
| 40 | * ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'': Simon Brezhnev is an Afro-Russian who sells Japanese sushi. |
| 41 | %%* ''Manga/{{Gangsta}}'': Alex Benedetto is Black and Asian (possibly Chinese). |
| 42 | %%* ''Anime/GreatMazinger'': Jun Honoo is female, half-Black, and half-foreign (she is the child of a Black father and a Japanese mother). |
| 43 | * ''Anime/LycorisRecoil'': Mika is a black man who requires a crutch to walk, and is later revealed to be homosexual. [[spoiler:The finale reveals that he faking the disability, keeping it hidden from both [=LycoReco=] and his former lover, Yoshimatsu.]] |
| 44 | %%* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'': Nathan Seymore is a [[CampGay gay]], Black man. |
| 45 | * ''Anime/TweenyWitches'': [[spoiler:Lennon]] is the only [[spoiler:mixed]] character in the franchise and the only male character to live by the culture of the Witch Realm. |
| 46 | * ''Anime/IsabelleOfParis'': Count Red's gang is full of former disgruntled French soldiers, who are AlwaysMale. The only exception to this is [[MissFanservice Irma]], a red-headed [[HotGypsyWoman Hot Romani Woman]]. Though Red encourages her to [[StayInTheKitchen stay away from the battle scene]], she persists anyway. |
| 47 | [[/folder]] |
| 48 | |
| 49 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 50 | * The ''ComicBook/XMen'' and their spin-offs contain numerous members of various minorities, so it is no surprise that a great many X-characters belong to several at the same time, especially since the launch of the "All-New All-Different" team in 1975. Note that in the following list minority status may change according to whether persons are in or outside their native country: |
| 51 | ** Dr. Cecilia Reyes is a "threefer": an Afro-Puerto Rican female (technically a "fourfer" once you remember she is a mutant). |
| 52 | ** Along similar lines, Armando Munoz AKA Darwin is also Afro-Latino. |
| 53 | ** Ororo Munroe, a.k.a. [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]], daughter of an African-American father and a Kenyan mother. Also, during Claremont's run as writer, there was some rather strong subtext that she's bisexual. She also believes in a mysterious female deity referred to as "Goddess" or "Bright Lady", which makes her an adherent of a (probably fictional) minority religion. |
| 54 | ** Nightcrawler: German (especially language-wise), UsefulNotes/{{Roma|ni}} (by adoption) and a Catholic. |
| 55 | ** Sunfire: Japanese and probably Shinto and/or Buddhist. (Which in Japan makes him distinctly part of the majority). |
| 56 | *** The Exiles' Sunfire, an alternate-reality Mariko Yashida, was Japanese, female, and homosexual. |
| 57 | ** Banshee: The original one is an Irish Catholic, his daughter (formerly Siryn) is also female. |
| 58 | ** ComicBook/KittyPryde: Jewish, female, and bisexual as confirmed by ''ComicBook/{{Marauders}} #12''. |
| 59 | ** ComicBook/{{Magneto}}: Jewish and (after the writers finally made up their minds) German. |
| 60 | ** M (aka Monet St. Croix): A Muslim of French-Algerian parentage who's depicted as AmbiguouslyBrown. Her father is also generally depicted as a Black man, making him a Black Muslim. |
| 61 | ** Karma: Vietnamese immigrant, Catholic, lesbian, and an amputee. |
| 62 | ** Sunspot: Brazilian (speaker of Portuguese), son of a Black father and a white mother, Catholic. |
| 63 | ** Magma: Depending on her origin of mixed Roman and Amerindian descent, also Palaeopagan. |
| 64 | ** Jubilee: A Chinese-American woman of indeterminate religion. Also, an [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Undead-American]] and a single mother. |
| 65 | ** Psylocke: A white Englishwoman trapped in an Asian body. Revealed in ''ComicBook/UncannyXForce'' to be bisexual as well. |
| 66 | ** ComicBook/{{Gambit}}: Cajun, American Francophone, Catholic. |
| 67 | ** Bishop: African American, later retconned into being part Australian Aborigine. |
| 68 | ** Bling, one of the young Mutants trained at the Xavier Institute, is African-American and bisexual. Her crush on Rogue is used as a plot point in one story. |
| 69 | ** Indra, one of the Indian recruits, is a Jain, a member of a small religious minority not just in America, but also in his native country. |
| 70 | ** Colossus in his 1970s and 1980's shape and form: Russian (from Siberia), atheist and communist. Not so remarkable in his native Soviet Union, but quite an assemblage of minorities in New York. |
| 71 | ** Original team member Iceman after a retcon involving his alternate-reality teenage counterpart: Son of a Jewish mother and a non-Jewish father and Gay. |
| 72 | ** Northstar: French-Canadian, Catholic, and gay. And now partner in a multiracial same-sex marriage. |
| 73 | * ''ComicBook/TheDefenders'': Magdelena Marie aka Veda from the Order is half German, half Mexican, as well as female. This is somewhat {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d with her dropping her last name (Neuntauben) for the media because people had trouble pronouncing it. If you want to get technical, "Calamity" James Wa is an Asian amputee and Sgt. Milo Fields is a Black paraplegic, as well. |
| 74 | * Connor Hawke, one of DC's ComicBook/{{Green Arrow}}s, is a mix of White, Black and Korean. Artists and colorists sometimes [[strike: have trouble]] don't bother reflecting this in his depiction. Mia Dearden, the second Speedy, is a twofer: female and HIV positive. |
| 75 | * In ''ComicBook/SupergirlBeingSuper'' Kara Danvers/ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'s friend Dolly Granger is a lesbian Black girl. |
| 76 | * In the [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bat-Family]], [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2000}} Cassandra Cain]] is a Threefer: female, Asian, and has a learning disability due to her torturous childhood. The family also has Oracle (female, handicapped). |
| 77 | * [[CanonImmigrant Renee Montoya]] is the child of first-generation immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Afro-Latina, and a lesbian (So a threefer, maybe a fourfer if we are counting being female as a minority). This served as the focus of an award-winning arc in ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'', which revolved around her involuntary outing, and as an ever-present factor in the background, as she tried to make her way in the predominantly white, male Gotham City Police Department. She's also an honest cop in Gotham, which is a minority all its own... |
| 78 | * Katherine "Kate" Kane, the new ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}, is a Jewish lesbian with a long (and complicated) history with Renee, [[HilariousInHindsight which is ironic]], considering that the ''original'' Batwoman and Batgirl were created in order [[TheBeard to prove that Batman and Robin were not gay]]. |
| 79 | * Bluebird from ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' is a bisexual woman. |
| 80 | * Claremont's ''ComicBook/{{Gen13}}'' run had a threefer - a wheelchair-bound Black Muslim. Fourfer if you count his having superpowers. The original ''Gen 13'' also had the Apache lesbian Sarah Rainmaker. |
| 81 | * ComicBook/ScarletWitch and ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} from ComicBook/TheAvengers are the mutant children of an Ashkenazi Jewish father (ComicBook/{{Magneto}}) and a UsefulNotes/{{Roma|ni}} mother. |
| 82 | * ComicBook/YoungAvengers: |
| 83 | ** Wiccan is both Jewish and gay. His boyfriend ([[ComicBook/{{Empyre}} now husband]]) Hulkling is a gay Kree-Skrull hybrid. |
| 84 | ** Gay-Jewish-Mutant-UsefulNotes/{{Romani}} (from his sorta, "it's-a-long-story" mother, Scarlet Witch). Hmm. |
| 85 | ** The same series has former {{ComicBook/New Mutant|s}} Prodigy, who is Black and bisexual. Same with Miss America (lesbian of Latina descent) and Noh-Varr (Kree-cockroach hybrid, bi/queer). |
| 86 | * Kasper Cole from the ComicBook/BlackPanther comic book series is the child of a white Jewish mother and an African-American father. He ends up fathering a child with his Korean-American girlfriend, who jokingly points out all the trouble the boy will likely end up having due to his unique heritage. |
| 87 | * Monica Chang from ''ComicBook/AvengersAI'' is a Chinese Muslim. |
| 88 | * ''ComicBook/AlphaFlight'': |
| 89 | ** Laura Dean is a Black, pre-pubescent, female, and ''autistic'' mutant. |
| 90 | ** Also Centennial was both Black and old (the smallest minority in all of superherodom). |
| 91 | ** From the original team, Northstar is gay and mutant. |
| 92 | ** Alpha Flight cadet Glory, from ''ComicBook/TheMightyCaptainMarvel'', is a Filipino lesbian with prosthetic legs. |
| 93 | * The 2011 ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' relaunch introduced Bunker, an openly gay teenage superhero from Mexico. He is the first gay member of the main Teen Titans branch. |
| 94 | * The ''[[ComicBook/WildCATSWildStorm WildC.A.T.s]]'' character [[Characters/WildCATSVoodoo Voodoo]] is mixed-race (half-Black and half-white) and bisexual. She was also the first Black woman to have [[ComicBook/Voodoo2011 an ongoing solo series]] in the [[Franchise/TheDCU DC Universe]]. |
| 95 | * In the early 1990s, ComicBook/ArchieComics had the short-lived Black girl Anita in a wheelchair. |
| 96 | * The 10 ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}} or ComicBook/MsMarvel codename holders include several twofer token minorities, with all who use the codename being at least either female, alien or both. In the mainstream comics, the original Mar-Vell, his son, and Noh-Varr are the only males, and all are (Kree) aliens. Several of the women are racial minorities in the United States. |
| 97 | ** The first Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers, the most well-known holder of the names Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel, is a female human/Kree hybrid. At one point she led the Avengers team. |
| 98 | ** The second Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau (currently using the name Spectrum), is female and African-American. At one point she also led the Avengers team. |
| 99 | ** The fourth Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan, is female, Pakistani-American, and has Inhuman (alien species) genes. She is also the first Muslim to headline a Marvel comics series. |
| 100 | * Echo (formerly Ronin): Native American, Latina, female, and deaf. Also, a {{Crossdresser}}. |
| 101 | * ''ComicBook/XWingRogueSquadron'' comics don't usually touch on this trope, but "Rogue Squadron 1/2", a short comic taking place just before the run on the Death Star, has four pilots from Red Squadron on a mission. These pilots are Wedge Antilles, [[MauveShirt Biggs Darklighter]], Jek "[[StoutStrength Piggy]]" Porkins, and Cesi "Doc" Eirriss. Doc is a Twi'lek woman, though unusually stocky and androgynous compared to [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe how Twi'lek women are usually drawn]], and she's the one who pulls a HeroicSacrifice at the end of the comic. Everyone else is a human male. Everyone in Red Squadron, as seen in ''Film/ANewHope'', is human and male. ''Wedge's Gamble'' later tried to justify this, saying that the Rebellion, in the beginning, was almost entirely a human endeavor, with only a few nonhumans in until the movement started to get off the ground. Of course the ''Darklighter'' comic drew Doc as slinky, slender, and clinging to her human male {{WingMa|n}}tes, once again highlighting that one of these things is not like the others. Wedge also briefly dated a woman named Reina Faleur, who had dark skin (who soon vanished due to an {{aborted arc}}). |
| 102 | * Scandal Savage from the ComicBook/SecretSix is a biracial (half white, half Native Brazilian) lesbian. |
| 103 | * The [[TimeTravelTropes time-travelling]] [[Franchise/TheDCU DC Comics]] hero [[https://www.bigredhair.com/time-tunnel/interface/chronopolis/ Chronos]] (no, not the supervillain) is Walker Gabriel. He was adopted as a kid and didn't learn his background until years later, although he was obviously non-white. It turns out he's half-Chinese and half-''ancient Mayan.'' His adoptive parents, incidentally, were also a mixed couple, his dad being white and his mother Asian. [[spoiler:In the alternate timeline created when he [[HeroicSacrifice saves his mother's life by erasing his own history,]] they adopt a little white girl, instead.]] |
| 104 | * Sunfire from Judd Winick's run on Marvel's ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' was a Japanese lesbian. She was also in an interracial relationship with an AlternateUniverse version of ComicBook/SpiderWoman. |
| 105 | * In the '90s, DC introduced a character who was half-Black, half-Vietnamese. Unfortunately, they named him ''Mongrel''. |
| 106 | * [[ComicBook/NewWarriors The New Warriors]] had Silhouette, who was half-Black, half-Cambodian, female, and fought crime [[HandicappedBadass on crutches]]. |
| 107 | * In Creator/GrantMorrison's ''ComicBook/SevenSoldiers'', Shilo Norman (long established as [[AffirmativeActionLegacy the Black]] [[ComicBook/NewGods Mister Miracle]]) is also AmbiguouslyJewish. |
| 108 | * ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' has introduced [[http://www.geekologie.com/2011/08/miles-morales-the-multicultural-spiderma.php Miles Morales,]] a half Black, half Latino child, as the new ComicBook/SpiderMan. |
| 109 | * Even among the FiveTokenBand cast of the original ''ComicBook/AtariForce'', Li San O'Rourke stood out for being a Chinese/Irish character, just so the writers could squeeze in an extra ethnicity. |
| 110 | * ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'' has the villainous Monsieur Mallah, who is a ''threefer'' minority: French, homosexual, and a talking gorilla. Yes, there are enough in that last category on DC Earth for it to qualify as a minority rather than happenstance, they even have their own city in Africa. |
| 111 | * Ren Kimura from ''[[ComicBook/TheDefenders Fearless Defenders]]'' is Japanese-American and a lesbian. She's also an [[ComicBook/TheInhumans Inhuman]]. |
| 112 | * Suki Leiber, the main character of ''Goofyfoot Gurl,'' is a teenage surfer girl who is half Jewish, half Japanese. |
| 113 | * ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHologramsIDW'': |
| 114 | ** Jetta who is British and Black. She was white in [[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} the original cartoon]] but that was due to ExecutiveMeddling. The executives wouldn't allow a Black villain but an EvilBrit one was fine. The comic combines her creator's original vision with the fact she is British in the cartoon. |
| 115 | ** There is also Blaze, who is a trans lesbian. |
| 116 | * Jackson Hyde/Kaldur'ahm, the second Aqualad, is Black and gay. |
| 117 | * ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} agent Jake Oh is Korean-American and gay. |
| 118 | * ''ComicBook/VoteLoki'' included a joke about how the title character could become America's first supervillain ''and'' female president. Outside of the joke modern ComicBook/{{Loki}} is established to be bisexual (ComicBook/YoungAvengers), and [[OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous genderfluid]] (ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard) in addition to classically being the fictional minority of [[ChildOfTwoWorlds Jotun-Asgardian]]. |
| 119 | * John Weller/Darr the Afflicter in ''ComicBook/{{The 99}}'' uses a wheelchair and is also white. |
| 120 | * Joe in ''ComicBook/{{Crimson}}'' is an Native-Mexican [[ReligiousVampire Catholic vampire]]. |
| 121 | * Hero Cruz of ''ComicBook/SuperboyAndTheRavers'' is a gay Puerto Rican American with African heritage. |
| 122 | * Jessie Wingo of ''ComicBook/BlakeAndMortimer'' is not only a female FBI field agent (in the Fifties), but she's also of Native American origin. |
| 123 | * Miguel and Gabriel O'Hara from ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'' are half-Mexican, half-Irish. |
| 124 | * Spoofed in the Italian parody comic ''A is for Ignorance'', where Brullonulla (a VillainProtagonist who can do anything he wants [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext because he haves a PHD]] and is known for being extremely racist towards anything) is lured in a trap by is enemies with the help of what is known as "the ultimate token character": a Black midget born without legs who is gay, Jewish, speaks with a lisp and haves [[AndSomeOtherStuff "other generic handicaps"]], and also [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking lives in San Marino and tastes like a dictionary if you lick him]]. |
| 125 | * ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} is Black and, well, [[MeaningfulName a cyborg]]. |
| 126 | * Big Brother from Creator/AlanMoore's run on ''ComicBook/YoungbloodImageComics'', a paraplegic Black kid. |
| 127 | * In recent interpretations, ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' is AmbiguouslyBrown and is confirmed to be bisexual. |
| 128 | * ''ComicBook/BlackLightning'': |
| 129 | ** Anissa is Black and lesbian. |
| 130 | ** Anissa's girlfriend, Grace, is Chinese and bisexual. |
| 131 | * ''ComicBook/NewAvengers2015'': Toni Ho is an Asian lesbian. |
| 132 | * The ComicBook/StrangeAcademy has Zoe Laveau, a black lesbian. If we consider Marvel Earth's strange groups of people, we can add being a zombie to that list. By that logic, then her girlfriend Dessy would be a lesbian demon. |
| 133 | * ''ComicBook/{{Memetic}}'': Aaron Sumner, one of the protagonists, is a threefer given he's colorblind, deaf and homosexual. This is a plot point, because being colorblind means he's unaffected by the killer meme spreading around the world, and being deaf makes him unaffected by the screams of the people turned by it. In the end [[spoiler:he decides to get infected by the meme, like most of the world's population, since he already always felt like an outcast anyway.]] |

| 141 | * Dr. Warragul Wirrpanda of ''[[Fanfic/BaitAndSwitchSTO Bait and Switch]]'' is of Australian Aboriginal descent, making him effectively Black and South Asian simultaneously. He's also the TokenHuman in a command crew otherwise comprised entirely of RubberForeheadAliens (two Bajorans, two Andorians, a Trill, and a Pe'khdar). |
| 142 | * In ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfTotalDramaIsland'', Leshawna is one of only two Black people out of 22 on the contestant roster (the other being the Jamaican man, D.J.) and the only francophone (i.e. speaks French as her first language), and is explicitly described at her arrival as a "minority 'double play'". Her African descent is canonical; her coming from Quebec is the author's invention because he needed one of the contestants to be familiar with a certain restaurant in Montreal, and although her name is distinctively African-American, [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign it sounds French]]. |
| 143 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfic 'Fanfic/LunchDateWithAGothAnIndieChickAndAWideEyedBubbleBoy'' Cameron, as he's both the only guy and Black raced in this story. |
| 144 | * ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse'': In the stories where Paul London is starring in, he's the only adult and Hispanic member of White Gestalt as the others are either teens -- Gladion at 14 and Specter around 16 - 18 -- or a child -- Tokio at 10 -- and Japanese descent (or the Pokémon equivalent for Gladion and Tokio). |

| 146 | * ''Fanfic/PokemonAMarvelousJourney'': Merlin Knowles is both Black and autistic. |
| 147 | * The protagonist of ''Fanfic/PoundTheTable'', lawyer Noa Schaefer, is female, Jewish, lesbian, and a mutant (and less than 5 feet tall), inserted into the Franchise/MarvelUniverse in the 1980s. She mentions that it only took her six months to notice that she was hired by her law firm to be the token woman hire, to be seen and not heard. |
| 148 | * Deconstructed in the ''Danny Phantom'' one-shot ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12133384/1/A-Shallow-End A Shallow End]]''. Paulina laments that she could be either a "token lesbian" or "token Latina", but to be both would be unacceptable. This only accentuates her {{gayngst}} and [[DrivenToSuicide suicidal ideation]]. |
| 149 | * Charlene Bellis, the new controller of the [[Literature/TheRailwaySeries North Western]] [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Railway]] in ''Fanfic/SodorsLegendOfTheLostTreasureBadEnding'' is a person of colour who is also a lesbian. |
| 150 | * There's a threefer in the ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' fanfic, ''Fanfic/SomethingAlwaysRemains'': Vanna Belrose is Asian/European, female, and asexual. [[spoiler:Her twin sister, Vesper, and her Aunt Bonnie also count as twofers, being part Asian as well, and female]]. There's also a Black woman, [[ChekhovsGunman Gwen Carlisle]], [[spoiler:who's related to one of the missing children, and plays a key role in the Smiling Man's downfall]]. |
| 151 | * In the ''Series/{{Glee}}'' fanfic [[http://archiveofourown.org/series/8386 Story of Three Boys,]] Puck mentions a few times that he suppressed his [[ArmouredClosetGay homosexuality]] more or less subconsciously for ''years'', because it was bad enough that he was the poor, Jewish kid whose [[DisappearedDad dad]] [[ParentalAbandonment left]]. |
| 152 | * ''Fanfic/TenVersusBlight'': |
| 153 | ** Theron Mahariel is a black gay Dalish elf. |
| 154 | ** Kallian Tabris is a biracial bisexual city elf. She stops being the TokenMinority once Soris and Zevran join the party. |

| 158 | * Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet in ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' is half African-American, half Arapaho. |
| 159 | * ''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'': Gobber is a gay double-amputee. |
| 160 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'': Out of the main characters, Esmeralda is the only woman and the only character who was born and raised Romani. |
| 161 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Lightyear}}: '' Alisha Hawthorne is a lesbian of African descent, and her wife Keiko is of Asian descent. |
| 162 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Priya is Indo-Canadian and either lesbian or bisexual as per WordOfGod. Tyler may also count as a Blasian-Canadian who is the only focused male in the kid characters and is hinted to be gay. |

| 170 | * Taylor in ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'', Black and female. |
| 171 | * In the movie ''Cherish'', there's a character who is a Jewish gay man with dwarfism who is also wheelchair bound. He points out at one point how he seems to be beaten with an unlucky stick. |
| 172 | * In ''Film/RisingSun'', Jingo played by Creator/TiaCarrere (herself a twofer) is a video footage analyst with mixed African-American and Japanese parentage and a withered hand since birth. She explains that this led to her being ostracized and labeled an outcast in her native Japan. |
| 173 | * Tomboy from ''Film/SurvivalOfTheDead'' is a Black lesbian, which makes her a threefer. |
| 174 | * 15-year-old Leonardo in the Brazilian short film ''Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho'' (''I Don't Want to Go Back Alone'') is blind and [[spoiler:also gay.]] He's refreshingly blasé about both matters. The same goes for its feature-length adoption, ''Film/TheWayHeLooks''. |
| 175 | * Mako Mori in ''Film/PacificRim'' is the sole female in the main cast and she is Japanese. |
| 176 | * ''Film/PitchPerfect'': Cynthia Rose is the only Black member of the Barden Bellas, and also apparently the only lesbian. |
| 177 | * In ''Film/PowerRangers2017'', Billy is Black and autistic. Trini ''may'' be Latina and gay (based on her actress and some dialogue), but the movie mostly treats her as AmbiguouslyBrown and questioning her sexuality. |

| 271 | |
| 272 | [[folder:Jokes]] |
| 273 | * There is an old joke about a Jew and a Black man sitting next to each other on a plane. The Jew notices that the other guy is reading a newspaper in Yiddish and quips "Is being Black not enough for you?". |
| 274 | * In Brazil, there is one where a Black Jew is asked if he suffers, and he answers in an [[NationalStereotypes Argentinian accent]], "''[[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pibe pibe]]'', vos aĂşn no sabes [[CampGay lo peooorr]]!" ("you don't know the worst part!). |
| 275 | * Comedian Jasper Redd talked about how Atlanta, Georgia had the highest percentage of gay Black men in the south: |
| 276 | --> "That's unfortunate. Those are two things you really don't want to be in Georgia. The only way to make that worse is if you were a midget." |
| 277 | * A popular radio show presenter was dropped from commercial radio in the north of England. The reason was that he created an on-air persona intended to be the meanest, tightest, most close-fisted miserly person anywhere in the world. To reinforce the point, he brought together the two ethnicities universally most regarded as being, er, ''careful'' with money, and created the twofer character of Angus [=McGoldstein=] (Scottish and Jewish). Listeners were not amused, and cases were brought. |
| 278 | [[/folder]] |
| 279 | |
| 280 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 281 | * Dekka of ''Literature/{{Gone}}'' is a Black lesbian. And a Moof, which makes her threefer in the novel's universe. She {{Lampshade|Hanging}}s it. |
| 282 | --> '''Dekka:''' "But I'm Black and I'm a lesbian, so let me tell you: From what I know? Personal experience? There are ''always'' lines." |
| 283 | ** Also, [[spoiler:Edilio is Honduran and gay.]] |
| 284 | * Susannah Dean of Creator/StephenKing's ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'' is Black, female, legless and has multiple personality disorder; notably, every other member of her ka-tet is a white male, except for Oy, who is a billy-bumbler (but Oy is male as well). |
| 285 | * ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': Angua in the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. This is played with because only one of her minority statuses is evident. For example, she says "Is this because I'm a w--" and gets cut off before you know she's actually trying to say "[[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]]," not "woman." In fact ''all'' the known female watch officers seem to be twofers: Angua is a werewolf, Cheri Littlebottom and Lars Skulldrinker are dwarfs (although Lars isn't openly female), Sally von Humpeding is a vampire, and Precious Jolson is Black. There is also an unnamed gorgon mentioned in ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals''. |
| 286 | * In ''Literature/{{Cryptonomicon}}'' by Creator/NealStephenson, the main character has deliberately hired a twofer: |
| 287 | -->"Since most hackers are white males, their companies are disaster areas when it comes to diversity, and it follows that all of the diversity must be concentrated in the one or two employees who are not hackers. In the part of a federal equal-opportunity form where Randy would simply check a box labeled CAUCASIAN, Kia would have to attach multiple sheets on which her family tree would be ramified backward through time ten or twelve generations until reaching ancestors who could actually be pegged to one specific ethnic group without glossing anything over. And those ethnic groups would be intimidatingly hip ones--not Swedes, let's say, but Lapps, and not Chinese but Hakka, and not Spanish but Basque." |
| 288 | * On the subject of Neil Stephenson, ''Literature/SnowCrash'''s protagonist (named, oddly enough, "Hiro Protagonist") is half Black, half Asian. This is referenced multiple times throughout the novel, particularly when a patron of the white supremacist "New South Africa" asks which slur Hiro would prefer to be identified by. |
| 289 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' gives us Black Russian man Sanya. Possible threefer, given he's an agnostic ''Knight of the Cross.'' When asked about his past, Sanya noted that he had to be careful when visiting small towns, because he was such an oddity that he caused accidents when motorists took their eyes off the road to stare at him. Of course, this made him quite angry and resentful when he was a young man, which made him an ideal target for the temptations of the [[FallenAngel Denarians]]. |
| 290 | * {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Reba in ''Literature/RedDragon,'' the novel to which ''Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'' is the significantly better-known sequel. She herself is a blind woman who works for a photographic film processing company; she jokes that between her and another woman, the company managed to pack eight different minorities into two hires. |
| 291 | * John Birmingham's ''Axis of Time'' trilogy featured a female Black lesbian naval Captain. Considering the series is about a naval task force from 2021 being sent back in time to 1942, it didn't end well for her. |
| 292 | ** The female British captain with Pakistani heritage fared better, though it was an uphill battle. Is having two twofers itself a twofer? |
| 293 | * Creator/HollyBlack's ''Literature/ModernFaerieTales'': |

| 298 | * In ''Literature/GoingBovine'', there's Gonzo, a hypochondriac Mexican dwarf [[spoiler:who is later revealed to be gay]]. |
| 299 | * [[NomDeGuerre Nijinsky]] from ''Literature/{{BZRK}}'' by Michael Grant is Asian and gay. |
| 300 | * ''Literature/MediochreQSethSeries'': Melz is [[AgeWithoutYouth old]], [[HandicappedBadass disabled]], [[CoolOldLady female]], [[ProphetEyes blind]], [[InspirationallyDisadvantaged deaf]] and [[DisabilitySuperpower technically a witch]] when you think about it. |
| 301 | * In ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' and ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices'', Magnus Bane is biracial (part Asian) and a self-proclaimed "freewheeling bisexual." And a warlock to boot. |
| 302 | * In ''Literature/IslandInTheSeaOfTime'', Capt. Marion Alston is a Black lesbian. |
| 303 | * In ''Literature/{{Dangerous}}'' by ''Creator/ShannonHale'', Maisie Danger Williams is half-Paraguayan on her mother's side, as well as having a deformed hand. |
| 304 | * The protagonist of ''Literature/ReadyPlayerOne'' is BFF with another white young guy like him, at least by judging from his online avatar. [[spoiler:"He" is a Black lesbian in real life. Also, a threefer if you count obesity too (she describes herself as a "Black fat chick").]] |
| 305 | * ''Literature/TheMakoSaga'''s Hamish Lunley is a Black GentleGiant who was raised Scottish (he's adopted). |
| 306 | * Luther in ''Literature/TheCandidatesBasedOnATrueCountry'' is a half-Black, half-Mexican war veteran with one leg and was is specifically selected as Skip's running mate to be this for the Republican side. The Democrats one-ups them by selecting Ling-Ling: a half-Thai, half-Lebanese lesbian with ''no'' legs. |
| 307 | * ''Literature/TheAmyVirus'': One of Cyan's friends, Eroica Witt, is an autistic lesbian. |
| 308 | * ''Literature/WonderWomanWarbringer'': Poornima "Nim" Chaudhary is Indian American and homosexual. |
| 309 | * Ada and Tula Diaz from ''Literature/FrozenIIAForestOfShadows'' are both wives. Their surname also suggests that at least one of them has heritage outside of Arendelle (presumably either Latin-American or Spanish). |
| 310 | * The wheelchair bound Cinderella can become this in the e-book version of ''Cinderella Spinderella'' if the reader chooses the Autumn (African American), Spring (Asian), Summer (Hispanic) or Monsoon (Indian) options. Averted with the Winter option, which is Caucasian. |
| 311 | * ''Literature/MitchTobin'': Both the murder victim and his friend Leo Ross in the fourth book are Black and gay. |
| 312 | * ''Literature/MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard'': Alex Fierro is Latinx and trans/genderfluid. |
| 313 | * ''Literature/JustJuliet'': Lacey is Black, though it's only mentioned briefly once near the end (mostly she's simply vaguely described as "dark-skinned"). She's the only person of color identified among the characters who is in more than just one scene. |
| 314 | * ''Literature/ThePower'': Allie is a dark-skinned mixed race woman, though her exact heritage isn't stated or explored. Only minor characters are women of color beside her. |

| 319 | * ''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo'': ''The Tyrant's Tomb'' introduces Lavinia Asimov of Camp Jupiter's Fifth Cohort, a Jewish lesbian. |
| 320 | * Exaggerated in ''Literature/EllenOutsideTheLines''. The protagonist is Jewish, LGBTQIA+, and in the Autism Spectrum. |
| 321 | * ''Literature/{{Presidential}}'': Among the supporting characters, three are LGBT+ and black as well. Rebecca and Jill are lesbians; Elliot is nonbinary. |
| 322 | * ''Literature/TheWitchOfKnightcharm'': Gelila Wongel, a new student at an evil WizardingSchool, claims to be descended from the Empress of the Ethiopian Empire Seble Wongel. This would give her both black and Jewish ancestry. Gelila is also noted to have thick glasses and thus may have a vision disability. |
| 323 | * ''Literature/SomethingToTalkAbout'': Jo started as a teenager playing an adopted Chinese-American girl raised by a white family. No other characters of color were on the show. She complained about it later in a column along with the racism which she'd suffered while acting. Jo makes sure her own show, ''Innocents'', is more diverse (including with not only ethnicity but sexual orientation, as she's a closeted lesbian). |
| 324 | * {{Discussed}} in ''Magruder's Curiosity Cabinet'' (set in Victorian-era America), where Whitey Lovett notes that neither he nor Zeph can afford to be politically outspoken, because, "I'm a dwarf and a Jew. You're a Negro and legless. Add 'anarchist' and you've got the Trifecta of Fucked." |
| 325 | ** Side character Enzo is a queer, disfigured Italian immigrant. |
| 326 | * ''Literature/TalesOfThePack'': The Pack, a group of lesbian college students, are mostly white. However, they have two women of color in their membership, who are also the only two explicity ones mentioned at all (Lexie is a quarter Cree, but passed for white easily and didn't claim the heritage initially). |
| 327 | ** Renee is mixed race, with a Jewish Uruguayan father and Barbadian mother. |
| 328 | ** Sharmalee is from India originally. |

| 336 | ** Santana is a Latina lesbian. |
| 337 | ** Jake Puckerman is half Black and Jewish. |
| 338 | ** Blaine is gay and biracial (at least his actor Creator/DarrenCriss is half-Filipino. There've been a few comments on the show that imply Blaine is as well, but his race has never been explicitly stated). |
| 339 | * ''Series/{{Galavant}}'': |
| 340 | ** Isabella, a woman who's AmbiguouslyBrown. |
| 341 | ** Sid is Black and [[spoiler:Jewish]], as his companions discover upon visiting his hometown. He's also [[AmbiguouslyGay probably gay]]. |
| 342 | * ''Series/BigTimeRush'' has Kelly who is Black and a woman (and also the OnlySaneMan, if you count that) |
| 343 | * ''Celebrity Big Brother Australia'', had Anthony Mundine, an Aboriginal Muslim. |
| 344 | * Australia "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here", has also featured Mundine. |
| 345 | * ''Series/GreysAnatomy'': |
| 346 | ** Thanks to racial blind-casting, Dr. Cristina Yang is Korean, Jewish-turned-atheist, and dyslexic. The explanation is that her Korean mother married a Jewish man after Cristina was born and thus the whole family converted. Cristina is also the academic equivalent of a Twofer - a [=Ph.D.=]-M.D. |
| 347 | ** Callie Torres is Latina and bisexual. |
| 348 | ** In season 9, there is Arizona Robbins: lesbian and an amputee. |
| 349 | ** Season 15 has Nico Kim (gay and Asian) and Levi Schmitt (gay and Jewish). |
| 350 | * ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'': |
| 351 | ** Probably the most notable and obvious example is Uhura who was Black and female (and was almost the only recurring character with either of these characteristics). |
| 352 | ** Hikaru Sulu has both Japanese ''and'' Filipino racial origins, intended to represent all of Asia to the audience. Sulu was intended to be of solely Japanese origin. It was only when the producers found out Sulu wasn't a Japanese name that they changed his origin to Japanese/Filipino (his last name comes from the Sulu Sea in the Philippines). In ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'', it's retconned that he's also gay. |
| 353 | * Hoshi on ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' (Asian and female). |
| 354 | * Geordi [=LaForge=] on ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' (Black and blind). |
| 355 | * Dr. Bashir from ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' (Middle Eastern, [[spoiler:augment]]). Also Dax (genderfluid, pansexual--although these things seem to be common among joined Trill, they're not common among the humans and Bajorans that make up most of the series cast) and Garak ([[WordOfGay pansexual]], mentally ill, and an [[spoiler:illegitimate child]], the last of which is an ''extremely'' marginalized group among Cardassians to the point where it's considered merely an unfortunate unpleasantness rather than a crime to ''murder them''). |
| 356 | * B'Elanna Torres on ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' (Latina, female, Klingon-Human hybrid). |
| 357 | * ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'': |

| 362 | * Juan Epstein on ''Series/WelcomeBackKotter'', a Puerto Rican Jew. |
| 363 | * ''Series/SpinCity'': |
| 364 | ** Carter (Black and gay). {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in an episode where Carter refers to himself as a minority and a character sarcastically remarks "What do you mean, a "minority"? You're Black and you're gay. You cover up two-thirds of the Earth's surface. You're like ''water''." Ironically, when his parents came to visit, he freaked out. Why? Not because he's gay, they're okay with that. But dating a ''white'' guy? |
| 365 | ** There was Janelle, a Black woman, which came in handy when the Mayor was accused of being a racist. Not only did he bring up the various civil rights marches he took part in, but he also states "I'm even dating a Black woman." |

| 373 | ** Eugene, a Black man, and for most of the show's run the women outnumbered the men five to three. |
| 374 | * ''Series/LawAndOrder'': |
| 375 | ** Lt. Van Buren, Black and female. This is {{lampshaded}} in one episode, where she notes that people probably think she got the job as police lieutenant for diversity reasons. In reality, that was the point of casting the actress. Originally, the cast of ''Law & Order'' consisted of six males, only one of whom was a minority. Two men were dropped from the cast (including the Black male) and replaced with a white woman and a Black woman. |
| 376 | ** In the later seasons, Connie Rubirosa got the double whammy of being Latina and a woman, working directly under conservative Michael Cutter and old-guard liberal Jack [=McCoy=]. |
| 377 | * ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'': |
| 378 | ** Dr. George Huang is Asian-American and gay. |
| 379 | ** Kat's the second Asian main character in the show's history since George Huang's departure in Season 12. Like Huang, she is also LGBT+, in her case being bisexual. More specifically, Kat is the first Middle Eastern main character. Of course she's also the first woman who fits into those categories as well. |
| 380 | * On ''Series/LawAndOrderUK'', Creator/FreemaAgyeman (who is a Black woman) portrays the assistant prosecutor. |
| 381 | * Cambridge on ''Series/PieInTheSky'' (Black and female) -- may not count, since the series has multiple female recurring characters, but worth mentioning because she's a TwoferTokenMinority ''in-story'', picked by her PointyHairedBoss as an efficient way of demonstrating his equal-opportunity-employer credentials. |
| 382 | * Marissa on ''Series/EarlyEdition'' takes this one step further: She's Black, female, ''and'' blind. |
| 383 | * Toshiko Sato on ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'', who's Asian, female, and bisexual. The last one might not count since EveryoneIsBi. |
| 384 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 385 | ** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in "The Sound of Drums" when the Master points out the diversity of the Doctor's "little band" of suddenly-fugitives: Martha Jones is Black and female, Jack Harkness is a pansexual white male. |
| 386 | ** Series 10 introduced audiences to the Doctor's latest companion: Black lesbian Bill Potts. |
| 387 | * Djaq on the BBC ''Series/RobinHood'': female, Muslim, and Arab (her actress is really an Indian Hindu). |
| 388 | * ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'': |
| 389 | ** Stevie {{Lampshade|Hanging}}s this, noting that as a Black, asthmatic man with one lung in a wheelchair, he can get pretty much any job he wants with his "tokenism". |
| 390 | ** Hal is this among his friend group, being the TokenWhite among them and the only one who is from the working class. His friends have all a much higher income than him (dentist, doctor, lawyer, etc.), which irks him a lot during his first poker session with them. When they are playing in a band, Hal plays the least impressive instrument and doesn't get as many singing parts as the others, although he's not bothered by that. |
| 391 | * James Spurlock from ''Series/ThirtyRock'' is actually called "Toofer" because as one character says "with him you get a two-for-one; he's a Black guy and a Harvard guy." Though a later episode had the gang coming up with new nicknames for him, one of which was "Threefer, because you're also gay!" This is {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in a later episode. Floyd interviews for a high-level job; Jack thinks he's a shoo-in until they see that the other candidate for the job is a handicapped Black man. "You're not beating that." |
| 392 | * "Original Cindy" from ''Series/DarkAngel'' is a Black lesbian. Max is also Latina and transgenic. |
| 393 | * Bobby D. (the D stands for Dershowitz) from ''Series/InPlainSight'' is Black and Jewish. |
| 394 | * Invoked in an episode of ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'', where Drew's brother Steve lost his job at Winnfred-Lauder due to being a crossdresser. After Drew manages to get Steve his job back, Drew asks if Steve is gay. When Steve replies he isn't, Drew says "That's a shame. If you were a gay crossdresser, I could have had you made vice president!" (paraphrased) |
| 395 | * Willow from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' who describes herself in Season 8 (the comic) as a "gay Wiccan Jewess". |
| 396 | * In ''Series/ModernFamily'', Mitchell and Cameron want to get Lily into an exclusive preschool and figure that they're shoo-ins because she's an adopted Vietnamese girl with two gay dads. They get beaten by an interracial lesbian couple, one of whom is Indian and disabled, with an adopted African baby. Cam tries to invoke this by pretending to be Native American when they meet with the principal. |
| 397 | * ''Series/{{Bones}}'': |
| 398 | ** Angela Pearly-Gates Montenegro [[spoiler:Hodgins]] is a "threefer": a half Chinese bisexual woman. She's also the daughter of Billy Gibbons of Music/ZZTop and picked her middle name from his [[ICallItVera guitar]]. |
| 399 | ** Cam meanwhile is an African-American woman. |
| 400 | * ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'' starts with the recurring character of Dr. Lanie Parish (African-American female), the local medical examiner and Kate's best friend. The latest season also adds Captain Victoria Gates of the same minority groups. |
| 401 | * ''Series/YesMinister'': "The perfect representative on a government committee is a disabled Black Welsh woman trades-unionist." |
| 402 | * Teal'c on ''Series/StargateSG1'' is a weird version of this. He's the token Black guy and the TokenNonhuman. And possibly a threefer, since he ''also'' gets the first play MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch card as well (others appear later, but he's the first). |
| 403 | * On ''Series/TheSopranos'', Meadow briefly dates Noah, a half-Black, half-Jewish student at NYU. Tony, being the rather, uh, ''old fashioned'' father that he is, is not amused. |
| 404 | * Australian comedy ''Outland'' had Rae, an aboriginal wheelchair-using [[InsistentTerminology homosexualist]]. |
| 405 | * Leah, a Black Canadian woman, joins Team One in ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'' after [[spoiler:Lewis' death]]. |
| 406 | * ''Series/{{Smash}}'''s Sam Strickland subverts this. He's both gay and Black, but he's a big sports fan and a regular churchgoer, two traits not often found among actors/dancers. The actor who plays him downplays his sexuality in interviews, saying it shouldn't matter. |
| 407 | * ''Series/TeenWolf'': |
| 408 | ** Danny is Hawaiian and gay. |
| 409 | ** Mason, introduced in Season 4, is Black and gay. [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute And since Danny wasn't in that season, it's likely Mason is his replacement]]. |
| 410 | ** There's also Kira, who is female and of Korean-Japanese descent. |
| 411 | ** Melissa [=McCall=] is a Hispanic woman. |
| 412 | * Norton on ''Series/WarOfTheWorlds1988'' is a Black guy in a wheelchair, though the show also features the Native American Paul Ironhorse. [[spoiler:Until the start of the second season, when they both get killed.]] |
| 413 | * Agent One on ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' is a Black man in a wheelchair. |
| 414 | * An episode of ''Series/AndyRichterControlsTheUniverse'' has the main cast competing to find someone to fill a job opening, with the reward of a finders fee. Knowing they're looking for diversity, they try to one-up each other, culminating in Keith Richards having found a one-armed, gay, Native American little person (... who sadly wasn't a technical writer, but still). |
| 415 | * Similarly in an older example from ''Series/TheJohnLarroquetteShow'', a manager position opens at the bus company which John mentions applying for. As the main cast boasts their ethnic background advantages over John being a white male, the next interviewee enters, a Black, blind woman in a wheelchair. Everyone else immediately gives up and leaves. |
| 416 | * On ''Series/TheLastShip'', Lt. Granderson is a Black lesbian. |
| 417 | * ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'': |
| 418 | ** Captain Raymond Holt is African-American and gay. He's actually this in-universe: after facing large amounts of racism and homophobia in his early days as a cop, it took years to get his own command, and Holt knows the brass only did it to make a big deal out of having an openly gay commanding officer. |
| 419 | ** Amy Santiago and Rosa Diaz are both Latina. Rosa is also bisexual, making her a threefer. |
| 420 | * Steve Jinks from ''Series/Warehouse13'' is gay and Buddhist. |
| 421 | * In ''Series/{{Porridge}}'', prisoner [=McLaren=], a man with anger management issues, is both Scottish and Black. He is universally known among inmates as ''Black Jock''. |
| 422 | * ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' provides James Stinson, Barney's gay Black brother. When being introduced, Ted makes note of how he's gay and intentionally leaves out how the white Barney has a Black brother. |
| 423 | -->'''James:''' I'm gay, I'm Black and [[spoiler:I'm getting a divorce]]. Those walking skeletons are gonna have more questions for me than their pharmacists. |
| 424 | * ''Series/{{Industry}}'' |
| 425 | ** Gus is both gay and Black, this is lampshaded by the President of Pierpoint London who suggests hiring a highly-intelligent minority would make the firm look good. |
| 426 | ** Harper is a Black woman. |
| 427 | ** Yasmin is apparently of Arab descent while she's into women along with men it turns out. |
| 428 | * ''Series/LoveVictor'': The titular character is Latino and either gay or bisexual. |
| 429 | * ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'': |
| 430 | ** Towards the end of season three, [[spoiler:Black Cindy]] decides to convert to Judaism. One of the Jewish inmates who is mentoring her wonders why she wants to go from one hated minority (Black) to ''two'', but confirms that she apparently really does want to convert, and supervises Cyndi's ritual bath in the river. |
| 431 | ** There are also Black lesbians Poussey and Suzanne, half-Asian bisexual Brooke, and Black trans woman Sophia. |
| 432 | * Winston in ''In Sickness and In Health'' is gay and Black. |
| 433 | * ''Series/SuperStore'': |
| 434 | ** Garrett, who is Black and disabled. This is {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in the second episode when the company magazine wants him on the cover because of it. |
| 435 | ** Also Amy, who is Latina and a woman, and Mateo, who is Filipino and gay. |
| 436 | * ''Series/SirensUS'': Hank, who is a gay Black man, Voodoo, who is an asexual woman, and Stats, who is a woman with OCD and Asperger's. |
| 437 | * ''Series/TheLibrarians2007'': Much to Frances' dismay, she's surrounded by them: Nada is a devoutly Muslim woman, Dawn is a paraplegic woman and Ky Lee, who is a [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gaysian gaysian.]] |
| 438 | * Everybody, meet the new kid in town! ''Series/SesameStreet'' has introduced Julia, a character with autism. A ''female'' character with autism, to be exact (boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed with this disorder than girls are). |
| 439 | * Rufus, Bobby's old hunting buddy on ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', is Black and Jewish. [[spoiler:The latter was never actually mentioned on the show, but [[KilledOffForReal his tombstone]] has a Star of David carved into it]]. |
| 440 | * ''Series/{{Supergirl|2015}}'': |
| 441 | ** Maggie is lesbian, and also revealed to be Mexican-American. |
| 442 | ** Nia is a half-alien trans woman. |
| 443 | ** Kelly is Black, and later reveals she's lesbian. |
| 444 | ** Nia's roommate Yvette is a Black trans woman. |
| 445 | * Continuing the recent trend, ''Series/TheGoodDoctor'' interestingly spins this around by having Dr. Shaun Murphy as the only Caucasian man (and an [[UsefulNotes/{{Autism}} autistic]] person) in a cast consisting of a Hispanic man, an AmbiguouslyBrown woman (played by a mixed-race actress of English/Jamaican ancestry), and a British-Indian man. |
| 446 | * ''Series/SchittsCreek'' has Ronnie Lee, an African-American lesbian town counselor. |
| 447 | * ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' has Father Weinstein, who's Jewish and Catholic. And pro-choice. Turk might also count, being Black and (at least for the early episodes) a Jehovah's Witness. Also discussed, in an episode wherein Turk and Elliot argue over whether it's tougher being Black or female in medicine, then greeting a woman who's both. |
| 448 | * In ''Series/{{Nightflyers}}'', Mel Jhirl is a Black woman who's also in a relationship with another woman. |
| 449 | * In ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', Zari is Middle Eastern, female, and Muslim. [[ActingForTwo Amaya and Charlie]] are Black women (with Amaya being African and Charlie a shapeshifter with a British accent). Sara is female and bisexual (also possibly undead). Kendra/Chay-Ara is an Ancient Egyptian woman. |
| 450 | * ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'': |
| 451 | ** In "Lithia" the only person of color in the episode (and her entire community) is Pelé, a Black or mixed-race woman who's also a lesbian. |
| 452 | ** In "Abduction" the only person of color in the group is a Black girl, Brianna. |
| 453 | * ''Series/SwitchedAtBirth'': Natalie is a "threefer" -- she's deaf, queer, and also a woman of color (though the last was unexplored in the show; her actress is Puerto Rican). |
| 454 | * ''{{Series/Timeless}}'': Denise is a threefer -- a woman, of Indian descent, and also a lesbian. |
| 455 | * ''Series/AlmostFamily'': Edie and Amanda, the only women of color in the main cast, who are also lesbians. |
| 456 | * ''{{Series/Manifest}}'': Saanvi was involved with another woman. Both are also women of color (Saanvi's Indian-American, while her ex-girlfriend's African-American). Saanvi is thus far the only woman of color or LGBT character in the main cast. |
| 457 | * ''Literature/Nos4a2'': In the series, Maggie, who is a lesbian, becomes Black as well. |
| 458 | * ''Series/PartyOfFive2020'': |
| 459 | ** Lucia's boss Teresa is a Black Latina lesbian, making her a threefer. |
| 460 | ** [[spoiler:Matthew]] is a transgender Latino man. |
| 461 | * ''Series/{{Bull}}'': Chunk is Black and gay. |
| 462 | * ''{{Series/Dates}}'': Erica is both British Chinese and lesbian. Kate could be said to be foreign and lesbian, given her actress is Irish and her ethnic background wasn't established as well. |
| 463 | * ''{{Series/Hightown}}'': Jackie is a woman of Dominican heritage and a ButchLesbian. While the cast has other Latino people and lesbians, she's the only one who's both. The other lesbians are also largely [[LipstickLesbian feminine]] and mostly white. |
| 464 | * ''Series/LovecraftCountry'': |
| 465 | ** Yahima was Native American (Arawak specifically), and Two-Spirit. |
| 466 | ** Montrose, who's Black, was revealed to also be gay. |
| 467 | ** [[spoiler:Christina]] may be a lesbian or bi woman, though a straight trans man is also a possibility. |
| 468 | * ''Series/TheBoys2019'': |
| 469 | ** Kimiko is a ''quadruple'' minority even; she's the only woman of The Boys, the only East Asian, the only Supe, and is mute, making her the only one with an explicit disability. |
| 470 | ** Elena, Maeve's ex-girlfriend, is a Latina lesbian, which even got cited as a symbol of diversity when the latter was ForcedOutOfTheCloset. |
| 471 | ** In "[[Recap/TheBoysS0201TheBigRide The Big Ride]]" it's {{discussed}} as Ashley Barrett is seen introducing Homelander to a new possible member of the Seven, Blindspot, who is blind and of East Asian descent (albeit he has a {{disability superpower}}). She says that ideally their next member should be both "ethnic" and female too as Millennials like that, though he dismisses the idea. |
| 472 | ** "[[Recap/TheBoysS0205WeGottaGoNow We Gotta Go Now]]" has it used InUniverse with the movie ''Dawn of the Seven''. Ruby Cruz, Maeve's love interest, is not only lesbian but (to judge by her last name) also a Latina (no doubt purposefully matching with Elena, who's Maeve's real former lover, whom they want back together and made butch like Ruby). |
| 473 | ** Victoria Neuman is a woman of color in this adaptation, changed from the white Victor Neuman. Her ethnicity is [[AmbiguouslyBrown left unclear]] though (Claudia Doumit is of Italian and Lebanese ancestry). |
| 474 | * ''Series/WeAreWhoWeAre'': Maggie Teixeira is a Latina lesbian, to judge by her last name (it's Portuguese) and the actress's ancestry (Creator/AliceBraga's Brazilian). |

| 477 | * Dr. Jeffery Cole, one of the candidates to be on the title character's new team on the fourth season of ''Series/{{House}}'', is Black and a Mormon. |
| 478 | * ''Series/BigSky'': |
| 479 | ** Cassie is the only person of color in the main cast, who's also a woman (she's Black). |
| 480 | ** Jerrie is a young trans woman, in the otherwise all cisgender cast. |
| 481 | ** Of the girls in Season 2, Max is East Asian, and Harper Black. Both are also attracted to each other. |
| 482 | ** Ren Bhullar is a female drug trafficker with South Asian ancestry who's an antagonist in Season 2. |
| 483 | * ''Series/TheFamily2016'': Black female detective Nina Meyer and Latina Bridey Cruz (who's also a lesbian or at least bisexual) were the only two people of color in the main cast. |
| 484 | * ''Series/AnotherLife2019'': The female cast is quite diverse. Michelle is Latina. Cas is Black. Azami is East Asian. The cast also includes Zayn, who's a nonbinary person of color (the actor's of Filipino-Australian background). August is also played by a Native American, though that isn't confirmed to be the character's ethnicity. |
| 485 | * ''Series/HigherGround'': Kat is a Black girl, the only female of color in the regular cast. |
| 486 | * ''Series/PersonsUnknown'': Sergeant Graham is Black and Muslim. Erika is Black, female, and lesbian (threefer!). |
| 487 | * ''Series/Sense8'': Amanita is a bisexual mixed race (Black father, white mother) woman. |
| 488 | * ''Series/TheSociety'': |
| 489 | ** Gordie's Jewish and implied to be Latino as well (his actor is Latino, and his surname-- Moreno-- is a Spanish and Sephardic Jewish surname common in Latin America, indicating that he is probably Sephardic Jewish). |
| 490 | ** Sam is a deaf teen, and he is also the only openly gay guy in the society. |
| 491 | ** Helena is a Christian girl who's mixed race in a largely secular, White town. |
| 492 | ** Bean is a Muslim girl of West Asian descent. |
| 493 | * ''Series/{{Shadowhunters}}'': |
| 494 | ** Magnus is East Asian, proudly bisexual, and also a warlock. |
| 495 | ** Maia is a biracial woman. |
| 496 | ** Samantha, Olivia's girlfriend, is a woman of color ([[AmbiguouslyBrown her ethnicity's not clear]]). |
| 497 | * ''Series/TheFortyFourHundred'': |
| 498 | ** Isabelle, who's biracial with Black and White parents. |
| 499 | ** Alana, who's AmbiguouslyBrown (played by a woman of Native American and European descent), possibly meant to have Tahitian ancestry as she was born in Tahiti. |
| 500 | * ''Series/{{Hanna}}'': |
| 501 | ** Sophie is a biracial girl in this adaptation, with a White mother and father of South Asian ancestry. |
| 502 | ** Most Utrax girls are White (to be expected, since they all came from Romania). Clara is Black though, along with a few more minor characters being girls of color. Jules is also the only queer girl shown in their ranks. |
| 503 | * On ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'', most of the contestants are queer men who perform drag. Thus, the queens that are also racial/ethnic minorities would only tick ''one'' extra box, but there are some exceptions: |
| 504 | ** Interestingly, the majority of the transgender/non-binary contestants have also been queens of color: Carmen Carrera (Hispanic), Stacy Layne Matthews (Black/Native American), Jiggly Caliente (Asian), Monica Beverly Hillz (Hispanic), Gia Gunn (Asian), Peppermint (Black), Aja (Black/Middle Eastern ''and'' Pagan), etc. |
| 505 | ** Season 5 winner Jinkx Monsoon is white but "[[OverlyNarrowSuperlative Seattle's premier narcoleptic Jewish drag queen]]," in addition to later coming out as non-binary. |
| 506 | ** Season 11's Mercedes Iman Diamond is Black, Muslim, and an immigrant from Kenya. Other POC immigrant queens include Bebe Zahara Benet ([[PhraseCatcher Cameroooooooon]]), Vivacious (Jamaica), and Kim Chi (South Korea). |
| 507 | ** ''Drag Race UK'' tries to feature at least one queen each season from outside England. Thus, Season 2's Tayce counts for being both Black and Welsh. |
| 508 | * ''{{Series/Bones}}'' has Arastoo (Iranian Muslim). Angela too as a biracial (half Chinese, half White) bisexual woman. |
| 509 | * ''Series/KissMeFirst'': The two people of color in the main cast, Tess/Mania and Tippy, are both girls. Tess is Black, Tippy gets revealed to be East Asian (apparently of Japanese ancestry, with her legal name being Tomiko Toshima). |
| 510 | * ''Series/ForLife'': Safiya Masry is an Arab-American (specifically of Egyptian descent) woman who's also a lesbian, as we learn early on. |
| 511 | * ''Series/ResidentAlien'': Sahar's a Muslim girl of color and wears the hijab (the only one so far, which isn't surprising in a small town). |
| 512 | * ''Series/TrueBlood'': Tara is described as being one by somebody she went to high school with, following her change to a vampire. Even prior to this, she not only was the resident Black woman but had come out as bisexual, before being the only Black female vampire. |
| 513 | * ''Series/TheFlash2014'': Nora turns out to be the child of Barry (who's White) and Iris (Black) making her biracial, while she's also a lesbian. She's the only biracial person in the cast and of course a woman, plus the only lesbian. |
| 514 | * ''Series/FeelGood'': |
| 515 | ** Laura, a lesbian who has mixed-race heritage (White mother, apparently South Asian father) is the only woman of color in the main cast. |
| 516 | ** David, a gay man who's a person of color (maybe with South Asian heritage) appears as the host at Narcotics Anonymous meetings Mae goes to. |
| 517 | ** George runs into a feminine Black lesbian at a wedding. |
| 518 | ** Elliot, George's boyfriend in Season 2, is a Black bisexual, polyamorous man. |
| 519 | * ''Series/TheNevers'': |
| 520 | ** Harriet is the only South Asian woman shown in the main cast (although there is another Asian female Touched - Su - who has been getting more appearances). |
| 521 | ** Bonfire Annie is the only Black woman in the main cast. |
| 522 | * ''Series/SWAT2017'': |
| 523 | ** Chris is the only woman on the team at the start and a bisexual Latina as well. She's had to deal with discrimination being a woman in SWAT since not a lot of female LAPD officers are serving in the unit. Chris is well-aware that some people think her presence is pandering and that some higher-ups think that they don't need to promote any other women to field work because of her. |
| 524 | ** Cortez lampshades the fact she's an immigrant Latina—so a Threefer Token Minority—as having been a problem getting promoted within the LAPD and puts on her on very shaky ground if her secret relationship with Hondo is ever discovered. |
| 525 | ** Zoe Powell is also a Latina, the second female officer on the squad. |
| 526 | * ''Series/BeingHumanUK'': Annie, a Black woman, is the only person of color in the main cast. |
| 527 | * ''Series/NancyDrew2019'': George and Bess are both women of color on the show, [[RaceLift in contrast to]] the books. In the former case, she's of East Asian heritage, while Bess is AmbiguouslyBrown (played by a British-Iranian woman). |
| 528 | * ''Series/ICarly2021'' introduces Carly's roommate and new best friend Harper, a pansexual black woman. Then there's her boss, internet pop starlet Double Dutch, who's Asian and sexually attracted to women since [[spoiler:she and Harper kiss in the first season finale.]] |
| 529 | * ''Series/SexLife'': Most of the cast is White, but with these women of color: |
| 530 | ** Billie, the main character, is AmbiguouslyBrown (played by Sarah Shahi, who's of Iranian and Spanish descent). |
| 531 | ** Sasha, her friend, is Black. |
| 532 | ** Cooper's boss Francesca is of East Asian descent. |

| 536 | ** Jess' first girlfriend, Vanessa, is also olive-skinned (played by Latina actress Creator/HumberlyGonzalez, who's Venezuelan-Canadian). |
| 537 | ** Nia is a black woman who [[TheQueenpin leads a criminal syndicate]]. |
| 538 | ** Sam is a black lesbian who serves as one of Nia's enforcers. |
| 539 | * ''Series/TheRepublicOfSarah'': |
| 540 | ** AJ (Amy) Johnson is a Black woman, along with being a closeted lesbian. |

| 542 | ** Alexis is olive-skinned (played by a Latina), and a closeted lesbian or bi woman. |

| 544 | * ''Series/{{Trinkets}}'': |
| 545 | ** Elodie is mentally ill and gay. |
| 546 | ** Moe is a girl of unclear ethnicity (likely Latina). |

| 555 | * ''Series/DashAndLily'': Langston's boyfriend Benny is Latino of Puerto Rican descent. |
| 556 | * ''Series/BurdenOfTruth'': |
| 557 | ** Joanna, Diane and Kodie all became friends in school due to bonding over being the only girls of color there. More specifically, Joanna is half Chinese/half Caucasian. Diane is a Guyanese-Canadian. Kodie is Indigenous Canadian. |

| 802 | * Alyx Vance in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' is a woman of Black and Asian descent... which would make her a threefer. Her dad, Eli, is Black and has a prosthetic leg. |
| 803 | * The Demoman of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' calls himself "a Black Scottish cyclops", and laments that there're more f-<[[ClusterBleepBomb extended bleep]]> that the likes of him. |
| 804 | * Rochelle in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' is a Black woman. There is also Coach, a Black man. This is a step up from the first game which had two white males, a Black man and a white woman (also known as the bare minimum of multi-culti). |
| 805 | * Chell in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' is an AmbiguouslyBrown [[TokenHuman human]], whose face and body model was Brazilian/Japanese, while most of the other characters are robots with European or North American names and voices. |
| 806 | * The main cast of ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' includes a local drug lady Elizabeta Torres (Black/Hispanic female who is also implied to be lesbian or bisexual). And the ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony Ballad of Gay Tony]]'' introduces eponymous Anthony Prince, who is Jewish and homosexual. |
| 807 | * ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' has [[http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Arie Arie]] [[http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Van%20Bruggen van Bruggen,]] a Black bisexual Middle-eastern/Dutch hacker who speaks with a Caribbean accent. And still managed to insult him on ''top'' of all that, as he's neither an ally nor an enemy - [[OnlyInItForTheMoney he'll work for whoever will pay him or, failing that, keep him from getting shot.]] Including the ''player'' - giving him a gun to help escape from an ambush results in MercyRewarded - he {{Lampshade|Hanging}}s the [[WithThisHerring paycheck you get from Sarif]], and puts several thousand credits in your bank account. |
| 808 | * In almost every game he appears in, Moby Jones of ''VideoGame/{{SSX}}'' is both the only Black and the only British character. The exception was ''SSX Tricky'', where he was joined by Seeiah, an African-American woman. |
| 809 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'': |
| 810 | ** Ashley Williams is a woman, [[SpicyLatina Hispanic]], and the only openly religious person in a traditionally-[[OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions atheist]] genre. Subverted, however, in that ''Mass Effect'' tends to make everyone the unique representative of some group on the team. |
| 811 | ** Samantha Traynor is a lesbian and of Indian-English heritage. She does, however, speak perfectly clear RP-English and went to Oxford. |
| 812 | ** Steve Cortez is a Latin-American and widower to his dead husband. |
| 813 | * Holly Tanaka from ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'' is a woman, half-African and half-Japanese. |
| 814 | * The ''VideoGame/RainbowSix'' series has been prone to Black Brits, with the original trilogy including Kevin Sweeney and the ''Vegas'' duology having Michael Walters. |
| 815 | * ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'': |
| 816 | ** Marina from Off the Hook in ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon 2}}'' is an interesting case in that the two minorities in question are split between in-universe and out of it. Out of universe, she was the only major NPC at the time that was Black, which is still treated as a minority in the real world; in-universe, on the other hand, she's an Octoling in a sea of Inklings, which made her stand out immediately. |
| 817 | ** Big Man of ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'' is the sole nonhumanoid of Deep Cut (a FunnyAnimal manta ray compared to the more human-looking Inklings and Octolings), as well as TheOneGuy among the idols. |
| 818 | * ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' |
| 819 | ** Ellie is female, gay, and an atheist. Bill is also gay, and the only characters who are openly religious are Henry and David. But Ellie and Sam are the only characters to outright state disbelief in religion (though Ellie might actually be agnostic since she says "I go back and forth", but ultimately settles on "no"). The end of ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'' adds another notch when [[spoiler:her left ring finger and pinky are bitten off by Abby]]. |
| 820 | ** Sam probably counts too, since he's Black in addition to being an atheist. |
| 821 | ** Ellie's best friend/love interest Riley is Black, female and gay. |
| 822 | * Pastor Jeremy Jeffries in ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' is a Black Catholic priest deep in rural Protestant Montana. |
| 823 | * ''Franchise/DragonAge'' games: |
| 824 | ** Elves are an [[EnslavedElves oppressed minority]] and mages are hated and feared due to their powers and vulnerability to demonic possession. As a result, many players find it satisfying to create a character who's an elven mage. In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', there are a few unique conversations if your character is this combination. |
| 825 | ** Even more scandalizing is a Mage Qunari mercenary, as typical mages of the Qun ''have their faces sewn shut and are treated as disposable hardware''. Mercenaries are heretics to the Qun religion, while Qunari are shunned in human lands due to their previous conquests (in addition to how the humans view mages), so your existence would basically be anathema to the face of the world if you weren't busy saving it. |
| 826 | ** In ''Inquisition'', party member Sera is an elf and a lesbian. |
| 827 | * ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'' has Charles Smith, a half-Black, half-Native American member of the Van der Linde Gang. TruthInTelevision: Native Americans and African Americans have a close and complex historical relationship. A fair few Native American tribes, like the Seminole, welcomed escaped and freed slaves and engaged in cultural exchange and intermarriage. Charles' ancestry would not be exceptional in 1899. It leads to an [[CringeComedy awkward moment]] with a poacher who can't figure out which racial slur to use. |
| 828 | * ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange2'' has protagonist Sean Diaz who is of Mexican-Irish descent and is bisexual. [[spoiler:The end of Episode 3 adds amputee since he lost his left eye due to an accident.]] |
| 829 | * The ''VideoGame/{{Pico}}'' series has Nene, who is Asian and the only female of the TokenTrio consisting of her, Pico, and Darnell. |
| 830 | * ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' |
| 831 | ** The customizable player character can be this if the player chooses. And so can the other Saints since many of them are women and/or minorities. Thanks to the "Romance" option in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'', the Boss can choose to sleep with any Saint regardless of their (or the Boss') gender. |
| 832 | ** By default, there's: |
| 833 | *** Lin from ''VideoGame/SaintsRow1'' is Asian and the only female Saint in that game (the protagonist can only be male in ''Saints Row''). Then there's Aisha, a Black woman, though she's not officially a Saint. |
| 834 | *** Asha Odekar in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' is a British-Indian woman. Her handler/love interest, Matt Miller, is also British and strongly implied to be bisexual. |
| 835 | * If the player chooses to sever Lee's lower arm in episode 5 of ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonOne'', then he's both black and an amputee. |
| 836 | * ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'': Scott Dolph is African-American and, if rumours about his relationship with Vamp are to be believed, bisexual. |
| 837 | [[/folder]] |
| 838 | |
| 839 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 840 | * ''WebAnimation/ObjectTerror'': Trowel is from Romania according to his accent and is later revealed to be in a relationship with another guy (Beer). |
| 841 | * ''WebAnimation/BurgerBrawl'' |
| 842 | ** Razu, Space and Vince identify as non-binary but are also respectively UsefulNotes/{{Bisexual}} (According to the [[QueerColors stripes]] on their scarf), armless and the only Brit in the show. |
| 843 | ** Planty is the only legless contestant and a transgender female who transitioned between episodes. |
| 844 | ** Not one but two contestants (Irish and Nicole) are transgender females who came out as lesbians at some point. |
| 845 | ** Threefer, Tippers is the only armless female contestant, is of Mexican-Filipino descent and identifies as pansexual. |
| 846 | %%* ''WebAnimation/InAHeartbeat'': Jonathan is mixed-Latino and gay. |
| 847 | [[/folder]] |
| 848 | |
| 849 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 850 | * ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob:'' Akbar is of Pakistani descent (though he was born in New Jersey), and his wife Sorbet is from the African nation of Mali, so their two children are of course mixed race. |
| 851 | * ''Webcomic/NiceShowForWeenies'' |
| 852 | ** Blockbuster (The only transgender contestant and gay) and Goodwill (armless and gay) are this which gets squared since they are officially together, making them a Twofer TokenMinorityCouple. Their demonic counterparts Badbuster and Badwill are in the same boat though the latter is bisexual instead of gay. |
| 853 | ** Eggiey is both non-binary (Though doesn't mind being called "Daddy" by their child/experiment Your Host) and bisexual. |
| 854 | * ''Webcomic/PrincessPrincess2012'': Amira is Black and a lesbian, as slowly revealed due to her attraction toward Sadie (whom she marries at the end). She's the only main character of color (Amira's parents appear briefly). |
| 855 | * ''{{Webcomic/Spinnerette}}'': Mecha Maid is a threefer actually: East Asian (specifically Korean), disabled (as she has ALS), and a lesbian. |
| 856 | * ''Webcomic/ThinkingTooMuchToThinkPositively'': Xan describes herself as a "fat, blue-haired transsexual" in [[https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/some-kind-of-id/ "Some Kind of ID"]] in regards to her workplace introducing photos to the ID cards: |
| 857 | --> '''Xan:''' But who's not gonna recognise me? I'm the fat, blue-haired transsexual who's worked there for years! ''I am literally the most distinctive person there and I shouldn't need to wear a photo ID to prove who I am.'' |
| 858 | [[/folder]] |
| 859 | |
| 860 | %%[[folder:Web Original]] |
| 861 | %%* Grete Ravenhallow from ''Literature/TheKindnessOfDevils'' is AmbiguouslyBrown and a lesbian. |
| 862 | %%* Parodied on ''Website/SFDebris'' in a mock discussion between the producers of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' over whether or not Geordi [=LaForge=] could be written as Black, blind, ''and'' gay. |
| 863 | %%* ''Literature/StatlessAndTactless'': "Soo" is shorthand for "Soraya", a Middle-Eastern name. She's also the only woman in the group. |
| 864 | %%[[/folder]] |
| 865 | |
| 866 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 867 | * ''WebVideo/{{AFK}}'': Serena, the sole Maori who's also a woman. |
| 868 | * Website/ChannelAwesome: |
| 869 | %%** WebVideo/ThatDudeInTheSuede is an New Zealander Mormon. |
| 870 | %%** That Chick with the Goggles is an African-German. |
| 871 | %%** WebVideo/{{Benzaie}} is a French Bisexual Atheist. |
| 872 | %%** WebVideo/DiamandaHagan is an Irish Married Lesbian Atheist. |
| 873 | %%* Zaboo in ''WebVideo/TheGuild'' is a self-described "Hinjew", half Indian, half Jewish. |
| 874 | * Travon Free from [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL93CC27AD6B186ACF The Gentlemen's Rant]] is the only Black cast member, and came out as bisexual in 2011. Ironically, the [[WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant WASP]] Will is labeled as "the gay one". |
| 875 | * ''WebVideo/OutWithDad'': New Vanessa, or Nessa, is a Latina lesbian (the only woman of color in the main cast). |
| 876 | * WebVideo/SkyWilliams is gay and Black, and he discusses this trope in "15 Questions I have for [=YouTube=]". One of the questions he has is why the strike on his channel was reversed while other popular [=YouTubers=]' channels still had suspiciously similar strikes. Sky openly admits that this trope could have played a role, given [=YouTube=]'s wording of [[https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/918974221119766529 "Your voice is core to who we are."]] But he refuses to believe ''that'' is the reason. |
| 877 | * In his ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' reviews, Yahtzee will occasionally make cynical reference to this trope whenever he encounters a character that he deems to be blatantly trying to meet a diversity quota within a single character, such as [[VideoGame/WatchDogs2 Sitara Dhawan]] and the aforementioned [[VideoGame/MarvelsAvengers Kamala Khan]]. |
| 878 | [[/folder]] |
| 879 | |
| 880 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 881 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Conway Stern in the episode "Diversity Hire" is Black and Jewish. As the episode name suggests, he was hired specifically so ISIS could maintain its minority quotas, with Malory even introducing him as a "diversity double-whammy". [[spoiler:Of course, as he later reveals that his identity was fake and insists that Conway Stern isn't his real name, it could mean that he lied about being Jewish.]] In "Three to Tango", [[spoiler:Conway returns and reveals his name really ''is'' Conway Stern, so he may actually be Jewish.]] Then again, considering that Archer says he [[spoiler:''isn't circumcised'', it seems rather unlikely that he is Jewish.]] He [[spoiler:has lost both hands and one foot in the course of the show, making him a triple amputee]]. |
| 882 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Baymax}}'': Mbita is African-American and gay. |
| 883 | * ''WesternAnimation/BroTown'': Mack is a Scottish-Jewish-Samoan and AmbiguouslyGay. |
| 884 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'': Madison Spaghettini Papadopoulos is at least part Italian and part Greek going by her name alone. |
| 885 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': Numbuh 5 is a Black French-American girl. |
| 886 | * Both of the main leads of ''WesternAnimation/DeadEndParanormalPark'' qualify. |
| 887 | ** Barney is trans, gay, and Jewish. |
| 888 | ** Norma is bisexual, autistic, and Pakistani. |
| 889 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'': Amaya is deaf, of Asian descent, and in a lesbian relationship. |
| 890 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'': |
| 891 | %%** Foxxy Love is Black, female, and [[LittleBitBeastly part fox]]. |
| 892 | %%** The ''Entertainment Weekly'' critic is an exaggerated example. She's a Jewish, conservative, pro-life, born-again, overweight, Asian, homophobic, lesbian broad who cuts herself. |
| 893 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Tricia Takanawa is Asian and female. But that is, of course, part of the point. |
| 894 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Bender is a robot, making him somewhat marginalized in future society. He is also treated as though he is of Latino heritage (he was made in Mexico and somehow his last name is Rodriguez) and of the Jewish faith (specifically Robot Judaism, unless he just made that up to get off work). |
| 895 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': |
| 896 | ** Elisa Maza is originally the only major female hero, with a Black mother and Native American father. WordOfGod is that this is a big part of why she was willing to accept the gargoyles; Eliza's own experience as a minority who can't be easily classified makes her slower to judge others on their looks. |
| 897 | %%** Jeffrey Robbins, a friend of Hudson, is African-American and blind. |
| 898 | * ''WesternAnimation/GlitchTechs'': Zahra is both female and Muslim, proudly sporting a hijab even while on the job. |
| 899 | * ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': [[spoiler:Sheriff Blubs is black and gay]]. |
| 900 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': |
| 901 | %%** Vaggie is a Salvadoran lesbian. The former was confirmed by the creator in both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88eEqclaDxU&t=7089s a livestream]] and [[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1108147464807174144 a tweet.]] |
| 902 | %%** Alastor is asexual and of Creole heritage. |
| 903 | %%* Blackstein from ''WesternAnimation/HighSchoolUSA'' is, as his name implies, Black and Jewish. |
| 904 | %%* Melissa of ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'' makes it up with being a girl and [[AmbiguouslyBrown Black(?)]] |
| 905 | * Augura of ''WesternAnimation/HotWheelsBattleForce5'' is a Black female in a team of guys. |
| 906 | * When Dale on ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' is being opposed for Gun Club President, he states that his opponent has "already got the Black vote -- Earl -- and the gay vote -- Earl." |
| 907 | %%* |
| 908 | * ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts:'' |
| 909 | ** Benson is a gay African-American teenager. |
| 910 | ** [[SatelliteLoveInterest Troy]] is also mixed Asian-Latino and pansexual, and Benson’s boyfriend. |
| 911 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has a lot of diversity in terms of gender and ethnicity among its cast, but Korra herself is still notable for being a mixed-race female lead character. In fact, she's a threefer or fourfer, since she was [[spoiler:wheelchair-bound]] for some time and [[spoiler:bisexual]]. |
| 912 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': |
| 913 | ** Clyde [=McBride=] is black and has respiratory issues (at least one episode has an inhaler implying he has full-on asthma). He also has anxiety issues sufficient that he has his therapist on speed dial, making him at least a threefer. |
| 914 | ** Harold [=McBride=] is African-American and gay. |
| 915 | ** CJ Casagrande is a Latin American boy with Down Syndrome. |
| 916 | ** Leni's friend Miguel is gay and Hispanic. |
| 917 | * Luz from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is Afro-Latina, bisexual, and has ADHD (in addition to being the TokenHuman in a cast of witches and demons). |
| 918 | * Isabella Garcia-Shapiro from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' -- half Hispanic (specifically Mexican) and half Jewish. |
| 919 | ** Danville apparently has enough of a Mexican-Jewish population to hold a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utufTTAXQcc Mexican-Jewish Cultural Festival.]] ''Oy-le!'' |
| 920 | %%*** In fact, given the fact that her mother, Mrs. Garcia-Shapiro, attends that festival and displays some Ashkenazi traits, it's possible that Isabella is fully Jewish and half Mexican, or even fully both, depending on her father's ethnicity (he's tan and somewhat hook-nosed, though not offensively so); it might have been his parents whose last names were originally Garcia and Shapiro, after all. |
| 921 | * Michael Collins from ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily''. While he's black in a majority black cast, he's also part-Powhatan and a gender-nonconforming gay (as confirmed in the revival series ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamilyLouderAndProuder''). The reveal series also has Randy Leibowitz-Jenkins, who is black and gay. |
| 922 | * Surprisingly enough, Rick Sanchez from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' is pansexual, autistic, and has been confirmed to be of Hispanic descent by WordOfGod. |
| 923 | * ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats2021'': Betty [=DeVille=] is of Latina descent and a lesbian. |
| 924 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce'' gives us Kim Sakai a.k.a. Sliced Ice, she's Asian and the only woman on the heroes' side. |
| 925 | * ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': |
| 926 | ** Kyle Broflovski. Jewish, ginger, and from New Jersey. |
| 927 | ** Token Black, as his name suggests, is the only Black student at South Park Elementary (until Nichole Daniels came along) and his family is rich. |
| 928 | %%* Lena Mack from ''Street Sharks''. She's also virtually the only woman there. |
| 929 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Julio is gay and of Latino descent (stated to be Costa Rican in one episode and Cuban in another). |
| 930 | * Not the first time a Nerd Corps show used this trope as, before Augura, there was Piper of the WesternAnimation/StormHawks -- who is also AmbiguouslyGay. (In both cases, one can argue for another character sharing one of their minority traits: the Storm Hawks also have the dark-skinned rhino-like Junko, while the Battle Force 5 get their intel from a female sentient, and another of the 5 guys is from Thailand.) |
| 931 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': |
| 932 | ** Bowie and [[spoiler:Raj]], who are gay, are respectively also black and [[spoiler:Indian]]. |
| 933 | ** Zee is an amputee and, according to WordOfGod, Hispanic. |
| 934 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' has the Indian girl Sari as the main human character. |
| 935 | %%* ''Supposedly'' Alexis in ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' is Vietnamese. However, it's never mentioned anywhere but a writer interview and she looks pretty dang white, so it might not count. |
| 936 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' has Miko, who is Japanese and the only girl of the three human sidekicks. |
| 937 | * ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'': Shiro is Asian, has PTSD, is an amputee, was revealed to be attracted to men, and [[spoiler:has been suffering from a chronic terminal illness for most of his life]]. [[spoiler:His deceased boyfriend Adam could also count, being gay and AmbigouslyBrown, as well as his newlywed husband Curtis in the GrandFinale.]] |
| 938 | %%* Tish Katsufrakis, the Eastern European, Jewish vegetarian girl on ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders''. |
| 939 | %%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Witch}}'': Irma is Latina and the creator stated that she's lesbian. |
| 940 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'': Alex is revealed by the show's creator to be of Asian and Latin-American descent. This also doubles as TruthInTelevision since Latin America is extremely diverse and has a well-established Asian immigrant population. |
