Attention tumbler..ers! I am on a mission to find minority women in TV shows. So this is um, raise Awareness For That Minority Character Day. Any suggestions?

Pictures are acceptable if you don’t know their name, or can’t recall. Submissions. Male versions can go to FYEM. But seriously, it’s always the underrated character. Feel free to suggest some characters, or submit images of underrated characters. 

They don’t all have to be underrated. But yeah. 

Just A Few Examples:

  • Kali from Supernatural
  • Astrid from Fringe
  • Original Cindy from Dark Angel. Hell, Max. 
  • Martha from Doctor Who 
  • Roxy from Dead Like Me
  • Girlfriends. Yeah. 
  • Kendra from Buffy 
  • Zoe From Firefly
  • Alisha on Misfits

For LOST and shows, I’ll need specific names- or hell, do a submission. Never watched Lost lol.
