The "Disposable Black Love Interest" functions as an obstacle along the way to the protagonist’s real (white) love. Fundamentally, this trope is a form of tokenism – an attempt to “check the boxes” of diversity, without actually casting people of color in the main roles audiences are encouraged to identify with and care about.
