Line 137:
** Season one starts with a [[Sassy Black Woman]], an Asian [[Perky Goth]], a white [[Hollywood Nerd]] wheelchair user, a white Jewish girl with two gay dads and a white [[Camp Gay]]. the later additions to the team are black and Asian boys, an [[Ambiguously Jewish]] kid, a [[Spicy Latina]] girl, a [[Teen Pregnancy|pregnant teenage girl]], [[Anything That Moves|and Brittany]].
** Invoked by Sue in the episode "Throwdown" when they split the glee club into two groups and Sue picked all the minorities for her half in an attempt to drive a wedge into the group.
** The current roster now stands at Rachel (Jewish), Mercedes (black), Tina (Asian), Artie (handicapped), Puck (Jewish), Sam ({{spoiler|poor}}), Kurt (gay), Mike (Other Asian), Santana (Hispanic and lesbian), Quinn (former pregnant teen), Brittany (bisexual), Finn (white), Blaine (gay), Rory (Irish exchange student), and Sugar ([[Blatant Lies|claims]] to have Asperger's.). Former members are Lauren (female wrestler) and Matt (black).{{not current}}
* The cast of ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'' combined the ethnic and clique versions of the trope into one group...and helped [[Six-Student Clique|make a trope of their own]].
* British sitcom ''All About Me'' centres around a man with an Indian partner and a wheelchair-bound child with cerebral palsy. It scores high for political correctness, low for comedy or interest.
Line 183:
{{quote|'''House:''' Our Five-Token Band is missing [[Ambiguously Brown|Brown]] and [[Bi the Way|Bi]].}}
* Both versions of ''[[Zoom (TV series)|Zoom]]'' revolve around this concept. The cast was always supposed to be ethnically diverse.
