    Oh no doubt. It is definitely in poor taste, but norms have shifted so that most people see it that way now. I’m just saying they retconned to be that the white people just assumed his name was Token. In no way did I mean to imply saying it with the extra letter makes it ok to call a black person by that name.

      You’re fine, as a black man there’s just few words that genuinely irritate me as much as token.
