** Tolkien says that he hates his name, and for the past 24 seasons, he had no issue with his name being spelled "Token", even spelling it that way himself for Token Black Productions. It's likely that he actually prefers his name being spelled "Token" to remove the association with J.R.R. Tolkien (though he may not have thought of the "Token Black Person" meaning until Stan pointed it out).

* BrokenBase: The InternalRetcon that Token's name is actually "Tolkien". While the episode overall was well received, the "reveal" split the base down the middle between the group of fans who still prefer to call him Token and those who play along with the episode's joke and correct everyone who doesn't call him by his new canon name.
