tokenism

Two years ago, Black artists at Long Beach Opera accused the company of racial tokenism and LBO canceled the production, which was to have featured HEX.

Franak Viacorka, an adviser to Tikhanovskaya, told the BBC that Lukashenko's gesture to Maria was tokenism.

But a senior minister dismissed that as a "misconception about the bill fuelling tokenism".

“Sometimes tokenism has run its course. I don’t want to just be that person,” he said.

That kind of tokenism has always existed.
