Token Williams (Black & Rich)

Appearance
Token wears a light purple armani exchange shirt with a letter "T" in light orange and a pair of dark gray pants. Being African-American, his skin is dark. Also like the majority of African-Americans in the show, his parents are rich.

Family
Originally known as Token Williams, he is the only minority (aside from Kevin) in the main characters' class and with the loss of Chef he and his family are the only African Americans in South Park. His name comes from the phrase "token minority," typically used to describe non-Caucasian persons thrown into small roles in TV shows and movies for the sole purpose of character diversity. In an intentional juxtaposition of racial stereotypes, Token and his parents are said to be the wealthiest family in South Park; his father (Steve) is a lawyer and his mother Marie is a chemist.

In the episode "Here Comes the Neighborhood", Token becomes tired of being an outcast due to his wealth, and successfully gets more rich people to move to South Park, all of whom are famous African-Americans. At the end of the episode, he gets told by the other boys that they tease each other for any faults they have all the time, and therefore they actually had accepted him into their group. However, they decided that from then on, they should tease him for being a pussy, and he decided he liked getting teased for being rich better.

Personality
Token is the only known black kid in the neighborhood. Due to both his race and economic status, Token is often picked on (mainly by Cartman.)

You can see this in Free Willzyx, in which Token helped Kyle save a whale.

Of Rebbecca smacking his butt.

Relationship with Lola
Token and Lola were paired in the Follow That Egg! episode and had a black egg which was racist that was taking care of the egg and is possible that they were both boyfriend and girlfriend. Also, in the same episode, it was somewhat revealed that Lola secretly likes him.

Relationship with Wendy Testaburger
In the episode "Raisins", he steals Wendy Testaburger from Stan Marsh (or she went for him). Stan flips him off because of that. However, it seems probable that their relationship was not as long-lived as Wendy's relationship with Stan, as they haven't been shown together again (he was also shown with other

girls at the party in "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset"). It also seems he is attracted to Rebecca, as in most dance scenes, or scenes involving boys with girls, he is seen with her.

Relationship with Rebbecca Cotswold
At the dance Rebbecca came up to Token telling come see her later then smacks his b

utt means that she's probably having a date with him. It's possible that she is maybe joking with Token or was trying to make Token to love her but Token did smiled at her back and was very surprises that's probably why Token cheated on Red and that's why she was mad and rarely broke up. Rebbecca Cotswold have never showed up she was either home schooled or she's in Public School and is probably in Mark's class maybe. Rebbecca was probably joking with Token in Hooked on Monkey Phonics so Red could be mad.

Racism
Racism has often been a theme based around Token, such as in the episodes "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000" and "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson". Since the demise of Chef, Token and his parents are the only African-American regular characters on the show, and perhaps the only African-Americans in the entire town.

Cartman is the most obvious source of racism towards Token. When Cartman decides to make a Christian Rock group, he immediately went to Token and demanded that Token get the bass guitar out of his basement. Token, offended, responded that he didn't own a bass and didn't know how to play it anyways. Cartman shoots back that because he's black he of course owns one and knows how to play it. Much to Token's annoyance, Cartman was right on both counts. Another incident of Cartman's racist behavior was when the boys were making a news show for CCTV, Cartman tells Token to change his voice for presenting because it sounded too black. Token does so, and takes on an overly pompous white stereotype voice. In "Free Willzyx", while the other boys have their faces camouflaged black, his is white. In "Imaginationland", his codename is Blacky. Of course there are times where Cartman does something inadvertently racist without the intent behind it, such as when he once threw a rock at Token because Token called him fat along with the other kids, it was classed as a hate crime.

In "Follow that Egg!", while working with Lola on the egg science project, he was given a brown egg while all the other couples got white eggs; and he understood what this meant giving Mrs. Garrison an annoyed expression. In the season eleven episode, "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson", Token felt offended by Stan's dad saying "niggers" as an answer on Wheel of Fortune. He eventually forgave Stan when he realized that he could never understand how it feels to hear the word from an African-American's viewpoint.

Also in the episode "Wing", when Cartman and the gang try to become Token's agents to get 10% of prize money from a talent show he was entering, Cartman stated, "Now you're probably wondering 'Hell, why do I need to give you guys ten percent?!'", in a stereotypical voice.

Music
Token can play bass guitar quite well, as seen in the episode "Christian Rock Hard". However, he is annoyed by his talent, as Cartman tells him it is hereditary due to his ethnicity. He also has an excellent singing voice, as seen in the episode "Wing". He sang for the Ms. Colorado Beauty Pageant and won $200. He eventually lost his money when he hired an agent and wound up serving drinks at Sylvester Stallone's son's wedding.

Oddly enough, he also sang a ballad in "Here Comes the Neighborhood", but did not sound nearly as impressive as he does in "Wing". Cartman attributes both his talents to the fact that he is black.

Fighting
Near the end of the episode "Christian Rock Hard" Token rather easily beat up Cartman with two punches and a kick. This indicates that he is a decent fighter. But then again, Cartman started crying uncontrollably like a baby after Kyle punches him very lightly. Token also was a "vigilante" for a while, under the alias TupperWear. Although he is never actually seen fighting, he does, along with the rest of Coon & Friends, try to intervene when cultists corner Kenny.

Sports
Token is seen to be very good at sports playing on the dodgeball team in "Conjoined Fetus Lady", the baseball team playing first-base in "The Losing Edge" and the basketball team in "Elementary School Musical".
