Former Love Island contestant Sharon Gaffka wants to open conversations around tokenism in reality TV.
When Sharon Gaffka saw fellow Asian Love Island contestant Shannon Singh get voted out on day two of the reality show in 2021, she thought to herself: "Oh, is that how it's going to go?"
Tokenism is when there is only a symbolic effort to be inclusive to minority groups, to give the appearance of equality. Iasha Masood, who was on The Apprentice in 2019, feels there was "an element of tokenism" with her appearance. "Our process is open to everyone, without discrimination. We represent all candidates in a fair and balanced light, and everything seen on screen is an accurate portrayal of events."Vas J Morgan was on The Only Way is Essex for six seasons but says there was "a lot of trauma" around the show.
