Yeah, the only South Park black kid is named 'Token' - methinks the South Park creators fart in the general direction of nitwits like this.
but the kids can’t read, write and do math.
I think he's looking at some other characters on the show. But yes, token is a nice touch. But don't forget, one of the main characters on the show, before the voice actor went Scientology nuts, was chef.
Chef was the smartest person in South Park...until he joined that fruity cult.
I think you and the creators of SP agree with the nitwit.
That's what Diversity means today.
My favorite gag of all of south park was when Cartman was making a “Christian Rock Band”. He tells Token to play the base, Token says he can’t play the base. Cartman says (I won’t get the quotes exactly right here): “You’re black, of course you play the base”. Token wants to object, so he picks up the base, starts to play, lays down a perfect base riff....
and says “Oh crap”.
fruity little club
I think...
The Rock Throwing “Hate Crime” on South Park was a good one also.
The Museum of Tolerace episode was hilarious.
You're right.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Wonder what this (no doubt) ultra PC “lecturer” thought of the Wheel of Fortune episode.

People Who Annoy You: N_ggers
The correct answer was Naggers.
It was a great episode on the trace pimping Jessie and Al do.
How about the “Timmy 2010” episode where Timmy becomes the lead singer of Lords of the Underworld? What Stan says at the very end about Phil Collins being a douche and trying to “protect” Timmy’s feelings was spot on.
What makes SP the de facto show of this generation is that amidst the hilarious absurdities there is ALWAYS a libertarian/common-sense message at the very end.
Compared to the Simpsons which is now so left and pro-obama..
"He told my Dad he was..."
Publicly Financed College spends time and money dissecting television cartoons for social content....and we wonder why our education system is in trouble...
