Fan Casting Token Black Friend(Black Best Friend)

Role added by connieblackwood on September 17, 2022

Description of Token Black Friend (Black Best Friend):

Your black best friend is sassy, never too busy to lend an ear, or come along on your wacky schemes. She is flawless to the point of being unreal. (Until it's time to save the day. That's what WHITE heroes are for.) This is a black character whose role either A) revolves almost entirely around a white character or B) serves as a conscious effort for a white character/writer to appear inclusive. Simply being black as well as friends with a white character does not automatically make a character this trope; one who's shown to be just as relevant as their white counterparts does not count as this trope. Black characters with their own story, distinguished identity and goals shouldn't be listed.
