He was anything but a token black guy - he was my favourite character out of all of them! He was a great friend and a great character

He's the best character in the book and the best character in the movie.

What exactly makes him a Token Black Guy? Do you even know what that phrase means?

Uh, what? How was he "token" anything? He was a real, developed character. He wasn't the main character, he wasn't just some black friend that hung around. Get a grip.

His name was Earl and he was far too developed to be "token."

Pay attention, please.

I just watched the film and really enjoyed it. The OP must have seen a completely different film from everyone else.

What?
Earl was awesome. My favorite character by far.

So every character in a movie is just a character in a movie but if they are black they are tokens?

I think the scene with him going 'usually white girls are stupid but you're not so bad, dying girl' was dumb a.f. but other than that he was okay... for a black guy

We crash into each other, just so we can feel something.

I thought Earl was the best part in this movie.....

I love Pink & Green.......
