TV Tokenism: Parks and Recreation

Parks and Recreation:

Leslie Knope, the main character, is the most developed character.

Ann, Chris, Ben, April, Andy, and Ron are supporting roles in the show, but they are also fairly developed, and you learn about their lives outside of the office.

Donna is the only African American, and is least developed of all of them. She receives very little screen time, and you don't know much about her.

Tom is used as the well-dressed "funny man" in the show, who you also don't know a ton about.
