Tolkien Black
Character from South Park by Trey Parker & Matt Stone
The richest kid in South Park and often the only one willing to point out when something is racially messed up — named after J.R.R. Tolkien, not what everyone assumed.
Also known as: Tolkien, Token, Tupperware
What They Know
- Named after J.R.R. Tolkien — the running joke is that everyone assumed his name was 'Token' and never thought to check
- The wealthiest family in South Park — his parents are successful professionals who provide a stark contrast to the town's general dysfunction
- Often the voice of reason about racial issues in a town that is aggressively bad at discussing race
- His superhero alter ego is Tupperware — he approaches Coon and Friends with the same measured competence he brings to everything
- Can play bass guitar — he picked it up naturally, which the show uses to both play with and subvert stereotypes about Black musical talent
