Token Minority Couple	comment	When the writers want to give the Token Minority a love life, but are in a bind because either A) most of the character's options are already taken, or B) the writers (or producers) would rather avoid the controversy of interracial romance. Thankfully, the latter isn't much of an issue anymore, although it hasn't entirely gone away, but there remains some instances of "Like Goes with Like" in fiction. This comes in two varieties: Tailor-Made Partner: The writers attempt to remove the label of tokenism by adding a similar character later, like a black female after a black male. Would be hypothetically successful, except she is usually a Distaff Counterpart who is quite clearly going to be paired off with the token at some point and will not be fully integrated with the rest of the cast. Extra points if she is the only other minority character to ever appear on the show. Independently-Made Partner: Two minority characters are established independently of each other. If they have any interactions at all, it's as friends and nothing more. But then later seasons find them getting "friendlier," even though they have nothing in common beyond their race...and sometimes not even that, with them just both being racial minorities. It is Not a Subversion if the lovebirds are different minority races. For example, it's been a pretty common Hollywood practice since the '90s to give a black lead a Hispanic love interest, to avoid the Minority Show Ghetto or the perception of strict racial divides if the show is diverse, but without the cultural baggage of pairing them with a white person. Homo/bisexuality is the most common non-racial variant. This can be tricky since a same-gender love interest must by necessity be sexually compatible, so the key thing to look for is if their relationship develops at a realistic pace and the character is subtly introduced, or if Billy Queer just pops up and is clearly going to get in the token gay's pants. But if the show features two gay/bi characters of the same gender with no real connection to each other and no reason to start dating, it's another straight example if they get in bed. Another variant happens in the World of Funny Animals, where everybody is a different anthropomorphic animal, but no matter how anthropomorphic, they are, only those of the same exact species will truly hook up. For example, Bob Kitty is the only cat in the show and has no love interests until Alice the cat shows up. This is less Fantastic Racism and more to avoid the potential Squick of an Interspecies Romance. note Some stories that aren't aimed at children will state that the mother's species determines the child's, rendering the point moot See also Same Race Means Related, which includes cases where a new racial/ethnic minority character is related to (or assumed to be related to) an existing one. It is unnecessary to list aversions since that tends to mean rattling off the character's entire dating history.

Every single lesbian that shows up on the show turns into a love interest for Emily, including one who at first bullied Emily and held her head under water.

In fact, this is the first time we see them interacting one-on-one. It's then revealed that everyone else knows about it... despite no one ever referencing it before. Seeing as how everyone else is in some sort of relationship at the time, it's also a case of Pair the Spares.

It's been outright stated by Reginald Hudlin, the writer of BP at the time, that he married them because they were the "two most prominent black characters in Marvel." Prior to this, they had met in an issue of Marvel Team-Up that made it clear that while there was an attraction between them when they were teenagers, they'd both moved on since then. When they met again in Christopher Priest's Black Panther run, it was once again clear that while there was a spark between them, they weren't destined to be together. Then suddenly under Hudlin, it was Retconned that they'd been the love of each other's lives since forever.

They of course become the only permanent recurring couple of the show. Averted in other cases though. Jerrica is the girlfriend of the Ambiguously Brown Rio and Aja (who is Asian) is dating Craig (who is white). The only time the Mexican-American Raya has a love interest is when the band goes to Mexico and Raya has Ship Tease with Luis. It only lasts one episode.

Although lighter-skinned, she's clearly black and has been paired with white Superstars such as Edge and Zack Ryder. She did get some Ship Tease with the black Booker T, but the attraction was started by them using the same Finishing Move (the scissors kick) rather than race.

Hagrid, a half-giant, quickly falls for another half-giant Madame Maxime and works hard to woo her after the meeting. After some back-and-forth they become very close and attempt to date... Then subverted. While they're both half-giants, Hagrid is an uneducated, rough-and-tumble British groundskeeper and Madame Maxime is a well-to-do headmistress of a classy French magical school. The fact that they have the same lineage isn't enough to bridge that gap and they wind up parting ways. Also, Maxine is in denial about her heritage due to prejudice against half-giants, so Hagrid's calling her one quite bluntly almost torpedoes the relationship from the beginning.

In true Pair the Spares manner, if the player neither romanced Tali nor Garrus, they hook up with each other at the end of Part III. Justified insofar as they're both not just the only constant non-human members of Shepard's crew, but the only ones in general (apart from Joker) who are with you for the entire franchise; so it's logical they would have had enough time to get to know each other. (Also, they have the same amino acids as each other; coming into contact with proteins from any of the other species would result in allergic reactions)

Token Minority Couple / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Averted in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion". The original script called for a muscular black male to be Uhura's drill thrall (and unwanted "breeding partner") on Triskelion. However, associate producer Robert Justman objected against it, claiming that it reinforces the "separate but equal" policies often seen on television, and thus Uhura's drill thrall was changed to a white male. On the Deep Space Nine episode "The Visitor", the alternate future version of Jake Sisko marries a black Bajoran woman, the only black Bajoran to be seen on the show outside of blink-and-you'll-miss-it actors in the background. And what about Jake's father? His first and his second wife are black. And most of his love interests (even the alien he crushed on in "Second Sight" was black). Geordi LaForge also once had a black alien love interest. Subverted with his crush on white Leah Brahms, though the writers had intended her to also be black (and a descendant of Dr. Richard Daystrom of TOS), they just neglected to make that clear to the casting department. He also once dated a white woman on the crew as well (though briefly). Tuvok's wife also had a rather dark complexion. This could be a result of the show's creators realizing that the notoriously sunny, arid planet Vulcan would favor a darker skin tone - most times you see a Vulcan in Voyager or Enterprise, they at least have a decent tan. However, barring some minor background extras and bit characters (such as a Vulcan midwife in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and a council member in Star Trek (2009)), the only other significant black Vulcans in the franchise's history, before or since, are Tuvok's wife and son.

They knew people were going to ship them because they're both black and tried to make the ship as unappealing as possible by having them constantly bicker, but their bickering just came off as Slap-Slap-Kiss instead, especially since both characters are naturally playful and competitive. Notably subverted in the comic book continuation, where Cyborg has a steady girlfriend, Sarah Simms, who is Caucasian. Yet, Bumblebee and Herald (also black) are implied to be going out later on as a nod toward their being married in mainstream DC comics.

Tina/Artie begin as this, shipping the two "disabled" members of the Glee Club together. In fact, Artie is explicitly attracted to Tina for her disability (stuttering), thinking they had a shared empathy. Subverted when she reveals she had been faking the stutter all along. In the second season, Tina dumped Artie for Mike over the summer when they both worked at "Asian Camp." What makes this a particularly annoying example is because their race was almost never brought up in the first season. They were two kids in the club who happened to be Asian. Come Season 2, it became all they ever talked about before being dialed back in Season 4 when they broke up.

Token Minority Couple / int_bb4af8d3	comment	Young Justice: A subtle, sci-fi example when Superboy and Miss Martian, the two alien team members, hook up. In season two they've had an Offscreen Breakup, and now M'Gann is together with Lagoon Boy. Possibly unintentional, but they're both green. For a whole season, no one was attracted to Aqualad, a black guy. Then Rocket, a black girl, joins the team near the end of season one and shows interest in him. However, the trope was averted since the relationship never went beyond a one-sided crush on Rocket's part. Though prior to this, Aqualad was attracted to Tula, who was white. She ended up with Garth, Aqualad's white best friend, creating much angst for poor Aqualad. The trope is averted at least twice: After a season's worth of UST, Kid Flash (white) winds up with Artemis (half-white, half-Vietnamese). Her sister Cheshire is shown to be still married to, but separated from, Red Arrow post-time-skip. Their parents, Paula and Sportsmaster, also avert this, though they are broken up now.

Token Minority Couple / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: "The End of Time" reveals out of nowhere that Mickey and Martha have gotten married in their final appearance. While their personalities do in fact make a good match for each other, the facts that they had a negligible amount of screen time together, both of them are black, and Martha dumped her white fiancé Tom offscreen (or, rather, he vanished) make it look like this trope. Unintended, Unfortunate Implications. That Mickey was Rose's boyfriend, but she chose the Doctor over him, and Martha pined after the Doctor, who didn't notice and was hung up on Rose, makes this Pair the Spares, while Rose and the Doctor being white adds to the unintended Unfortunate Implications. Allegedly the relationship between the two of them was going to be developed in Torchwood: Children of Earth, but then neither of the actors were able to appear in it. Donna Noble marries a black man in the same episode. All signs make it clear that this was supposed to be the end result of the character development they would have gotten if they had been cast members on Torchwood. It's just an unfortunate coincidence that invokes this trope.

Much later, Morgan mentions that he's dating his neighbor. When we do see her, it turns out she's black as well. He also had a one-episode flirtation with a Latina detective and initially displayed interest in JJ's black replacement while she was on maternity leave. He does have a running flirtation with (white) Garcia, but it's more playful than romantic or sexual, and no relationship ever develops.

At first Token won't even speak with her to avoid this trope, but eventually Cartman manipulates them to get together, only for Nicole to break up with Token when she misinterprets evidence of Cartman's plan to mean that Token was invoking this trope. Eventually Cartman manages to manipulate them back together, and the two decide that forcing themselves to not date due to their shared race was just as bad as forcing themselves to date due to their race.

While the latter two had good reason to be in a stable (they're in-laws, Naomi marrying one of Tamina's cousins), the only apparent reason for Sasha to join them was that she was black as well.

This could be a result of the show's creators realizing that the notoriously sunny, arid planet Vulcan would favor a darker skin tone - most times you see a Vulcan in Voyager or Enterprise, they at least have a decent tan. However, barring some minor background extras and bit characters (such as a Vulcan midwife in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and a council member in Star Trek (2009)), the only other significant black Vulcans in the franchise's history, before or since, are Tuvok's wife and son.

Previously, Matilda had been obsessed with "fitting in" and finding a "normal" boyfriend and tried to hide her autism by drinking, which led to her losing her virginity to a random boy while drunk. Her relationship with Drea, by contrast, does not require her to "fit in" (and indeed, precludes her from fitting in, because Drea can't "pass" for normal), and because Drea has her own set of issues, Matilda actually has to learn to consider the needs of someone other than herself, which leads to Character Development.

Token Minority Couple / int_fab6bdd9	comment	The Young Avengers' Hulkling and Wiccan might be immensely popular, especially among GLBT readers, but there's no shortage of fans of any persuasion who would like to know how they fell in love, instead of taking for granted that the two gay boys on the team would automatically get it on. Though to be fair the boys are shown to have a lot in common, such as their similar taste in comics, movies, and television, similar moral values, and senses of humor. Basically, they're both huge nerds who value family, friendship, and crime-fighting so it makes sense that they would like each other. One of the reasons why Kieron Gillen, writer of Young Avengers vol.2, made the team's Sixth Ranger (former member of New X-Men, Prodigy) come out as bisexual was his dislike for this trope. As he put it: It's later implied by Loki that Wiccan may have subconsciously used his powers to make Hulkling fall in love with him, though this is never confirmed. And of course, it's Loki.
