Line 64:
* Zoey from ''[[The Proud Family]]''.
* Richie from ''[[Static Shock]]'' was Virgil Hawkins's sidekick, and the only white member of the principal cast. Although he's still a minority, too: the character he was based off from the comic was gay, and [[Dwayne McDuffie]] had [[Word of Gay|stated animated Richie was gay, too.]] They [[Animation Age Ghetto|couldn't actually show it on the show]], though.
** Hotstreak, one of Static's most prominent enemies, is pretty much the only other recurring white character. At least he was also the Token White of Static's villains, who were also mostly black, else it would have been fairly severe [[Unfortunate Implications]].
* The [[PBS Kids]] cartoon ''[[Maya and Miguel]]'' is so intent on being diverse that their [[Twofer Token Minority|token white friend only has one arm.]] He was born that way, probably to keep cynical older viewers from wondering if he had to cut it off himself to be included in the group.
* Invoked an episode in ''[[King of the Hill]],'' where an entirely Asian country club attempts to recruit Hank just because he's white and they need to convince the PGA they're not racist. Hank refuses to go along with it when he figures it out.
