tokenistic

The government has taken nothing more than tokenistic actions on behalf of people with disabilities.

The company’s use of ads depicting gay couples appears to be merely tokenistic, particularly in view of the support it has given to anti-LGBT politicians.

1908, T. W. Pearce, “The Ancient Faiths of the Chinese” in Arnold Wright (ed.), Twentieth Century Impressions of Hongkong, Shanghai, and other Treaty Ports of China, London: Lloyd’s Greater Britain Publishing Company, p. 340, Animals are tokens. Among tokenistic animals the dragon holds the first place. The dragon of the sky is indissolubly linked in the minds of the masses with the emperor who sits on the dragon throne, and who, after death, ascends upon the dragon “to be a guest on high.”
