TV Tokenism
SOURCE
Jericho is about the struggles of one town in Kansas to survive after multiple nuclear explosions across the United States. No one knows who is behind the attack, and the town, Jericho, is cut off from the rest of the country, and is on their own to survive. Hawkins, the character in the blue shirt on the far left, is the show's token minority character. He is a CIA operative that just moved to Jericho, and the rest of his character is sort of a mystery. He is given little air time during the pilot, but begins to develop into a main character as Jake's - the main character in the center wearing the red shirt - "go to guy". He becomes a significant part of the show, and then it gets cancelled. It ran for 2 seasons, but the second was cut short.
