# Literature.{{TheBurningRoom}}: Lucia Soto's rapid promotion to detective is credited in part to her being a "twofer" because she's a woman and of Mexican ancestry. (Being in a highly publicized shootout where she took out some bad guys also helped.)
# MagicalNegro: See also WhoopiEpiphanySpeech, TokenBlackFriend, and {{Mammy}}. For a similar trope about women, see ManicPixieDreamGirl (as well as DisposableWoman and UsefulNotes/TheBechdelTest); the MagicalGirlfriend may play a similar role for her love interest, but is not necessarily an example of this. For the gay version see MagicalQueer ('''[[TwoferTokenMinority who may also be black]]'''). The disabled version of this is InspirationallyDisadvantaged. When a non-minority character is portrayed this way, the character is usually a SidekickExMachina. Similar in vein to the MagicalNativeAmerican, though that trope tends to be more explicitly magical. Also similar to MagicalAsian, when an Asian character, often with supernatural abilities, fulfills a mentor role to a white character. Another related trope is WhiteMansBurden, where the plot is about an ordinary white person who befriends an underprivileged minority character. Related to MagicalRomani, which is about Romani characters having magical abilities (or otherwise associated with the supernatural). Also compare MagicalJew.

However, even aside from this, many viewers find the character to be unlikable, obnoxious and entitled, at one point even seeming to believe that Miranda should be prioritising supporting their series pilot over comforting her son (who, by the way, is having suicidal thoughts) after his recent break-up.

Here a wick check will be performed on TwoferTokenMinority.

'''Why?:''' As stated in Administrivia/TropesNeedingTRS: "Most commonly used as "character belongs to multiple minority groups" regardless of whether their identity is relevant in the story. Sometimes, the character won't even be the ''only'' member of either minority group, making the "token" part of the trope name meaningless. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1526708347099393400 A TRS thread]] from 2018 closed without consensus."

'''Wicks checked:''' /50

Potholes will be '''bolded'''.

# Series.{{PicnicAtHangingRock}}: Marion, a girl with white and Aboriginal parentage, is the school's only person of color. This was very progressive at the time, and her rich father's influence is the reason she's able to access it. [[spoiler:She's also secretly involved with a female teacher.]]
# ComicBook.{{SuperboyAndTheRavers}}: Hero Cruz is gay with Puerto Rican with African heritage.
# JewishAndNerdy: Barbara Brownstein from ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'', a TwoferTokenMinority who is also AsianAndNerdy.
# Literature.{{Nightflyers}}: Melantha is black and bisexual.
# Fanfic.{{ChristianHumberReloaded}}: The kids Vash plays with [[CrossesTheLineTwice are a combination of extremely stereotypical behavior for their races and token disabilities]].
# Characters.{{That70sShowYouth}}: She's a black woman and is the only racial minority of the entire cast besides Fez and Leo.
# Characters.{{Uncharted4AThiefsEnd}}: [[spoiler:The only American to join the party in ''The Lost Legacy'', next to Australian Chloe and South African Nadine, and the only man.]]
# Literature.{{TheBurningRoom}}: Lucia Soto's rapid promotion to detective is credited in part to her being a "twofer" because she's a woman and of Mexican ancestry. (Being in a highly publicized shootout where she took out some bad guys also helped.)
# MagicalNegro: See also WhoopiEpiphanySpeech, TokenBlackFriend, and {{Mammy}}. For a similar trope about women, see ManicPixieDreamGirl (as well as DisposableWoman and UsefulNotes/TheBechdelTest); the MagicalGirlfriend may play a similar role for her love interest, but is not necessarily an example of this. For the gay version see MagicalQueer ('''[[TwoferTokenMinority who may also be black]]'''). The disabled version of this is InspirationallyDisadvantaged. When a non-minority character is portrayed this way, the character is usually a SidekickExMachina. Similar in vein to the MagicalNativeAmerican, though that trope tends to be more explicitly magical. Also similar to MagicalAsian, when an Asian character, often with supernatural abilities, fulfills a mentor role to a white character. Another related trope is WhiteMansBurden, where the plot is about an ordinary white person who befriends an underprivileged minority character. Related to MagicalRomani, which is about Romani characters having magical abilities (or otherwise associated with the supernatural). Also compare MagicalJew.
# Characters.{{XMen90sMembers}}: She's of African-American and Puerto Rican descent.
# Series.{{TokyoVice}}:
** Being American and Jewish makes Jake one in the Japanese society, and he often faces discrimination in the professional settings where foreigners usually aren't welcome.
** Jake's direct superior, Eimi Maruyama, is a woman of Korean descent, but she keeps the latter half a secret to avoid even more discrimination that she already faces as a career-oriented woman.
# Characters.{{Mythica}}: The only person of color in the cast, she's played by Black Latina actress Ash Santos.
# WarpThatAesop.{{Tropes}}: NoTranshumanismAllowed: It is both bad and wrong to try to improve your station in life. Your destiny and psychology are determined by your race, and divinely ordained. Wanting to be something better, or even just other, than what you were born as is fundamentally immoral and anyone who is "uppity" enough to want to challenge this is an utterly reprehensible human being.
** TwoferTokenMinority: Two for one what a deal. '''what'''
# YMMV.{{AndJustLikeThat}}: TheScrappy: Che Díaz has been widely derided by a large number of the series fanbase, partially for [[spoiler:being the catalyst in breaking up FanPreferredCouple Miranda and Steve's marriage.]] (In fairness though, that wasn't really Che's fault as they were not fully aware of the details regarding the situation). However, even aside from this, many viewers find the character to be unlikable, obnoxious and entitled, at one point even seeming to believe that Miranda should be prioritising supporting their series pilot over comforting her son (who, by the way, is having suicidal thoughts) after his recent break-up. Not helping matters is the opinion that they have been included seemingly as a TwoferTokenMinority in order to appeal to a wider demographic.

# Characters.{{You2018Season2}}: Gabe is both black and pansexual, Lucy is racially ambiguous, and she and Sunrise (a plus-sized woman) are in a serious relationship. Their roles are basically to give Love a friend group.

** In "Abduction" the only person of color in the group is a black girl, Brianna.
# Characters.{{ParadisePDRecurringCharacters}}: TokenMinority: Dr. Funtlichter is bi.

# Film.{{CaptainMarvel2019}}: Carol's wise best friend as a human, Maria Rambeau (played by Creator/LashanaLynch), is a female black US Air Force fighter pilot as well as a strong working single mother.
# Characters.{{SurvivorNicaragua}}: She is Asian (Chinese) and Hispanic (Bolivian).
# Headscratchers.{{PoliceQuest}}: In ''III'', How did Morales manage to get a promotion to Homicide as your partner in the first place? Even if Internal Affairs didn't have enough evidence to bust her for criminal activity, her history of insubordination and belligerence should have still been enough to keep her in Traffic, if not had her relegated to a desk job or ReassignedToAntarctica. Maybe they couldn't prove the destruction of evidence, but those other infractions on her ''written record'' were very much verifiable. Especially because at least one of them ''you yourself'' corroborated and confirmed.
** It's implied that the higher ups want someone to rein her in, and since Sonny is such a by-the-book cop, maybe the thought is that he'll rub off on her.
** Politics. She's a TwoferTokenMinority (female and Hispanic). The novelization had a few characters note that she got her position as a (in their words) "double-barreled affirmative action hire". Though Sonny did say that she "may still be worth saving".
