You might be upset if you were referred to that way, but that doesn't mean that everybody would. Hopefully Steve was okay with it . . . otherwise I can't imagine why he would put up with it. And if he doesn't have an issue with his brothers calling him "Token," then why should you?
If he does have a problem with the name, why is he staying in the fraternity? If my sisters referred to me by a nickname that I found derogatory, and refused to stop when I pointed out the fact that it was derogatory, I'd DA so fast their heads would spin -- and I assume that anybody else would do the same.
Now I agree with you that the name could definitely be offensive, but if he doesn't have a problem with it then I'm certainly not going to worry.
And as we constantly point out -- Fraternity Life and Sorority Life are in no way accurate depictions of most fraternities and sororities. You can't base assumptions of "what non-NPHC groups are like" off of that show because there are some very significant differences all across the board.
