More than just a Token Minority, this sort of character has been written into a series specifically because the minority group is associated with a group that the country is at war with (to various degrees of hotness or coldness). Usually, there are two reasons to include such a character: either as a way for the writer to use the enemy in the series without stereotyping all members of the group as enemies, or as a way for the writer to express his opposition to the war or its excesses. As such it's rare before the 1960s. It can be strange if minorities of other types are conspicuously missing—if the only Asian on your World War II super-team is Japanese, it's pretty obvious what's going on. Alternatively, works set in the future will use a current enemy as an ally as a way of pointing up how futuristic they are being. ("A Russian serving with an American? Now I know we're in the future!") In Spy Fiction, this makes a lot of sense; operatives with a background in the enemy's culture can go undercover much more easily. Questions will almost certainly arise about whether this character is a Double Agent. The character often remains stereotypical in ways other than being an enemy. If this is done with in-universe conflicts instead of real life ones, that's Token Heroic Orc. |

Code Geass: Paladins of Voltron: Twofold - he leads the Black Knights and is a Britannian Prince, and is the leader of the Paladins of Voltron despite being one-quarter Galra (though he doesn't know it yet). Rai's a Britannian Prince just like Lelouch (though no one on Team Voltron knows this yet) and a member of the Paladins. How long this will be the case is still up in the air, though, since Lelouch is working on getting Britannian on the Paladins' side. |

In Home Front, Resistance member Hopper Lee is Korean-American. He mentions that anyone who looked even slightly Asian had been getting lynched when he left Oakland, and he was "lucky" to only have his home burnt down. Oddly, it's a better example than most because Hopper is surprisingly understated about the horrific treatment he's received. The Resistance Fighters are pretty stunned about it when he does mention it. | |

Illya Kuryakin in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., who turned out to be a friendly Russian spy. Justified because the agency they worked against was hated by both the free world and the communist bloc. He was quickly promoted to joint protagonist after positive fan reaction, so thus ceased to be 'token'. | |

Herald Alberich of Karse in Heralds of Valdemar was the Token Enemy Minority Herald, until he got two entire books as the protagonist and stopped being just a token. Then there're three other books (published earlier, taking place chronologically later) with a Karsite priest as one of the protagonists. As of the chronologically latest books in the series, Karse is now allied to Valdemar, but for centuries they were very bitter enemies fighting a perpetual war. | |

Star Trek: Enterprise is a prequel in pre-Federation times, Vulcans are pretty much antagonistic and presented mostly as Obstructive Bureaucrat as best to Scary Dogmatic Aliens at worst. T'Pol, a Vulcan and the Enterprise first officer, is basically this often caught in the middle of two loyalties. Vulcans do get better a few seasons later and is explained their authoritarian government was misshablding the teachings of Surak for their own. | |

Grimm: Among the main cast both Renard and Adalind belong to an enemy race; the Hexenbiest/Zaucherbiest. Although for very traditional Grimms and Wesens alike even Monroe and Rosalee (a Blutbat and a Fuchsbau, two Wesen that are shown to be able to live peacefully among humans) are a case of enemies working with a Grimm (which in that case makes Nick the enemy minority as a Grimm working with a team mostly made of Wesens). |

Runaways, being a series about the children of villains rebelling against their parents, naturally explores this a few times: For a long time, Karolina was the only good Majesdanian seen in Marvel comics, with the rest of her species being portrayed as Absolute Xenophobes. Xavin is one of only a handful of Skrulls who aren't Always Chaotic Evil. In the 2017 series, Gib is the only Gibborim willing to abandon his people's obsession with reclaiming the Earth. |

In Borderlands 2, one of the playable characters is Krieg, who is a Psycho. In gameplay, you will kill hundreds of Psychos — every two-bit bandit gang seems to have a bunch of them to run around throwing axes at you.

In 1776, George Read is the only anti-independence member of the Delaware delegation, which leads to a critical deadlock during the independence vote that can only be broken by bringing back the absent Caesar Rodney on an eighty-mile ride during a thunderstorm. (Which was Truth in Television, albeit a little more dramatic in the show. The feat is depicted on the back of the Delaware quarter.) | |

Call of Duty: WWII has a couple of examples. Fischer is an officer in the Heer who is working as The Mole for the British SOE, and is Rousseau's contact in Paris. It's heavily implied that, while he is loyal to Germany, he hates the way the Nazis are running things. Zussman later, once Daniels' squad enter Germany, turns out to be not only Jewish, but German as well. Surprisingly, the rest of the squad save Pierson are pretty okay with it, since by now he's already earned their trust. |

Captain America: The First Avenger: One of the Howling Commandos is Jim Morita, a Japanese-American man played, again, by Kenneth Choi. When another soldier comments on his race, Morita indignantly says "I'm from Fresno, Ace." And indeed, there were a number of Japanese-American soldiers in World War 2, though they also served in segregated units (as did all racial minorities then). Earlier, the scientist who creates the super serum that gives Captain America his strength is a German defector portrayed very sympathetically. When Steve asks where he's from he replies with his American street address, then the place in Germany. He also comments that the first country that the Nazis conquered was Germany, though politically rather than militarily, due to the conditions after WWI. |

In Fire Emblem Fates, you choose which of the two warring countries to side with, and so, who the Token Enemy Minority is depends on which version you're playing. Hoshidan Ninja Kaze and Nohrian Cavalier Silas will join the Avatar character no matter which side you choose (though under different circumstances in different routes). If you choose Nohr, Kaze is the Token Enemy Minority, due to overhearing how the Avatar wishes to end the conflict by reforming Nohr from within and his latent guilt for not preventing their kidnapping in the first place. If you choose Hoshido, it will be Silas and the Avatar's servants, Jakob and Felicia, whose personal loyalty to the Avatar trumps their nationalism. Silas in particular has to deal with a lot of anti-Nohrian suspicion in his interactions with his Hoshidan comrades, while Kaze's easygoing charm spares him the worst of it. Both are considered extremely trustworthy and likable by both sides. | |

In Far Cry Primal, Takkar of the Wenja tribe captures Dah and Roshani, two commanders from enemy tribes the Udam and the Izila, respectively. He brings them back to the Wenja village alive so he can learn from them how to create rot bane bombs and fire bombs. After that, he decides to just keep them alive among the villagers because he feels sympathetic towards Dah upon learning that most of the Udam are dying of the "skull fire" disease and Roshani's too cowardly to try returning to the Izila. Slightly deconstructed by the fact that the rest of the villagers are less welcoming to Dah, and they try to drown him behind Takkar's back. By the end of the game, Takkar adds a third enemy minority by adopting Ull the Udam warchief's children into the tribe. They end up replacing Dah as the token Udam minority after Dah asks Takkar to Mercy Kill him so that he doesn't die a Cruel and Unusual Death by "skull fire". | |

Considering that the Fire Nation are the main antagonists of the series, then Prince Zuko will fulfill this role after he joins Team Avatar in Avatar: The Last Airbender. An earlier example is Aang's past life and Zuko's great-grandfather, Avatar Roku. Roku was a Fire Nation Avatar who explicitly opposed the war and is the second Fire Nation citizen Aang meets who does. (The first is Shyu, who helps Aang contact Roku's spirit.) Roku serves as Aang's Spirit Advisor and the lesson Aang takes from learning his life story is that people from the Fire Nation aren't born evil. Other Fire Nation citizens that aid Aang and his friends to reinforce the idea that they're not all evil include Jeong Jeong, the deserter who abandoned the war; his disciple Chey, who led Aang to him; Zuko's uncle Iroh, who's initial priority is aiding Zuko but also tries to encourage his better instincts until that means openly opposing the Fire Nation; and the swordmaster Piandao, who tells Sokka point-blank that he figured out he was a Water Tribesman almost immediately and advises him to choose a fake name that blends in better than his real one. Iroh, Piandao and Jeong Jeong all turn out to be members of the Order of the White Lotus, a secret society that promotes the beauty of all nations. Of the five named characters who are members of the Order, three are from the Fire Nation. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Odo is a Changeling raised by Bajorans. His native people are leaders of the Dominion, which ends up waging a war against the Federation. Garak is a Cardassian who, despite officially being a spy working for the enemy, typically sides with the Federation where it really counts. |

In Shuyan Saga, Master Shan tells Shuyan that if she transcends her anger, she'll see that despite the damage done by the Guer in the name of the Red Dragon, "the Guer are victims of the Red Dragon" too. It turns out that one of Shuyan's fellow students is Guer, and wants to free them from the rule of Ganbaatar. This doesn't equate to being nice, however — or to choosing the right methods. | |

In The Siege, Tony Shaloub's character is this as an Arab-American FBI agent. This is of course a central conflict to the movie as racism against Arab-Americans increases after several terrorist attacks, with all of the Arab-Americans in New York City later being detained without charge, including his son, prompting his angry (temporary) resignation from the Bureau. Interestingly he is actually based on a real person, Ali Soufan, who was one of the greatest FBI interrogators during the War on Terror. He also left the FBI for a similar reason, that he was unable to do his job when the CIA tried to torture people instead of letting him work. |

Code Geass: In addition to Lelouch/Zero himself, Britannian TV producer Diethard Ried fits this trope for The Black Knights, the Japanese rebels/terrorists that are trying to overthrow Britannia. Instead of believing in their cause, Diethard is a Wild Card who joins because he worships Zero and he finds amusement in them. As for Zero, the Black Knights are aware that he isn't Japanese, but don't realize that he's actually Britannian (Lelouch revealed his identity to an extremely high-ranking Japanese man well-trusted by the Black Knights, who assured them that Zero was on their side). |

The Untouchables (1987) is about prohibition agents fighting Italian mobsters run by Al Capone. One of the agents, George Stone (birth name Giuseppe Petri), is also Italian. This leads to bigotry from Irish-American cop Jim Malone (Sean Connery) who calls him a "thieving wop" upon discovering that he is Italian. Interestingly enough, Stone is played by Andy García who is actually Cuban, not Italian, but is famous for playing Italian characters. | |

Beast Wars: The fantastic version, with "ex-"Predacon Dinobot on the Maximal side. "Ex-" in quotes because despite officially changing allegiances, Dinobot still holds on to his ideals of Predacon honor. BlackArachnia takes the role after Dinobot's death although unlike Dinobot, she never consider herself a Maximal and even protests if is not called a Predacon. Only after her Transmetal 2 upgrade does she fully become a Maximal. |

The Black Widow in The Avengers was a hero, despite being a Russian spy. She started out as a villain, before embracing capitalism. | |

The 1932 film Shanghai Express is about Chinese revolutionaries holding a bunch of expats and tourists hostage on board a train. The main villain is a Chinese man who was posing as a passenger, but there is a supporting character called Hui Fei - who is Chinese and not one of the revolutionaries. She also gets to be the one to kill the villain and save the day. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Seven of Nine, being a de-assimilated Borg serving on a Federation ship, is arguably an example too, though she was human before assimilation. | |

If it wasn't for the presence of Steven Gomez, one might think the writers of Breaking Bad are bigoted against Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, and Hispanics in general. | |

Slimer in The Real Ghost Busters, yes the series shows that not every ghost is evil and some ghosts can be very cooperative with the Ghostbusters, but that doesn't change the fact that Slimer is a ghost helping the GHOSTbusters. He was called a traitor by several spirits, like Samhain. Naturally he has a similar role in the successor series Extreme Ghostbusters. | |

Golden Girl in The Invaders (Japanese during World War II — note that she's a Retcon hero; real World War II comic books didn't do this). | |

Sixth Column was a reworking of a John W. Campbell story where the Yellow Peril invades America. Robert A. Heinlein wrote that he had to remove racist elements from the original story, and the final story has a Japanese-American as one of the good guys. Assuming this was an addition by Heinlein (which seems likely), it may be unique as an example of the trope used for a Japanese character during World War II. | |

Worf in Star Trek: The Next Generation is an in-universe example as a member of what was the main Big Bad alien race in the original Star Trek, showing that relations with them are no longer hostile. This gets more complex as the show goes on and the state of the Klingon Empire becomes an ongoing subplot. One episode (Future Imperfect) has Riker wake up sixteen years into the future, a time where he is now captain of the Enterprise. He is startled to see a Ferengi Ensign on the bridge and remarks on the unlikeliness of this, his first clue as to what is really going on. Despite this, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine featured a Ferengi joining Starfleet only seven years after this episode of TNG was broadcast. |
