"The Walking Dead," 8 o'clock Sundays on AMC
"The Walking Dead" is a show on AMC, a basic cable channel, about a group of survivors after a zombie apocalypse. There are two minority characters, Glenn and T Dog. T Dog is the only black character in the show, and has a very minor role, but when his character does get screen-time, his personality is fairly complex, as is shown by his complicated interaction above. I would argue that T Dog somewhat is an example of tokenism. He is a minor character, and all the leads are white, and he faces minority issues, but his interactions with those issues are fairly complex.
