Young-O was outed by his finance as having antisocial personality disorder on Beautiful Mind, episode 6, and because of Min-Jae’s actions, Young-O wound up being dismissed from his position and interrogated for murder.

The Bechdel, Russo, and Race Test

Episode 6 passed the race test but did not pass the Bechdel or Russo test.

The entire cast of episode 6 was Asian and none of the characters ever mentioned White people. As such, every conversation met the race test’s requirements and the episode easily passed this diversity test. As to the Bechdel and Russo test, episode 6 failed to pass either of these diversity tests.

Episode 6 did not pass the Bechdel test because while there were named women in the episode, none of these women ever talked to each other let alone talked to each other without mentioning men. The episode did not pass the Russo test because there were no LGBTI characters in the episode.

*The Bechdel test entails three requirements:
1. It has to have at least two (named) women in it
2. Who talk to each other
3. About something besides a man

**The Vito Russo test entails three requirements:
1. The show contains a character that is identifiably lesbian, gay, bisexual, intersex and/or transgender
2. The character must not be solely or predominately defined by her sexual orientation, gender identity and/or as being intersex
3.The character must be tied into the plot in such a way that her removal would have a significant effect

***The race or people of color (POC) test has three requirements:
1. It has two people of color in it
2. Who talk to each other
3. About something other than a White person

****Just because a show passes the Bechdel, Russo and race test does not mean that it is not sexist, heterosexist, racist and/or cissexist, etc. The Bechdel, Russo and race test is only a bare minimum qualifier for the representation of LGBTI individuals, women and people of color in television. The failure to pass these tests also does not identify whether the central character was a woman, a person of color or a LGBTQI individual and it does not dictate the quality of the show.
