Token Black (previously Williams), voiced by Adrien Beard, is the only black child in South Park. His name is a reference to tokenism. The name has been interpreted as an example of the anti-political correctness attitude of South Park and as an implication that the tokenism phenomenon is outmoded enough to be a laughing matter. Despite the role that his name implies, Token will sometimes play a significant part in an episode, and has been a recurring character since his first major role in the season four (2000) episode "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000". His next came in the season five (2001) episode "Here Comes the Neighborhood", where he is picked on for being rich. He invites several other wealthy families to move to South Park (who all happen to be black), leading the townspeople to refer to them as "richers".
