    No, they retconned his name to be Tolkien because Token just doesn’t sit well as a joke anymore, especially because they have other black characters on the show now.

      That was what South Park was getting at by naming their one Black character Token who they retconned to be named Tolkien 20 years later.

      Yes, that’s why he was named Token to begin with.
