They probably didn't get the subtle satire Parker & Stone were going for when they named the character
Sorry, but I don't believe that lame excuse. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but anyone who doesn't understand the use of the word "Token" in a context of race and diversity (whether it's something they saw on SouthPark or not) shouldn't be in college. I could MAYBE accept, "Oh it's just a joke amongst brothers and Mr. Token isn't offended"... but assuming that they are ignorant of the words connotations beyond a cartoon television show is too much.
