South Park nailed it with “token”. Alas, they don’t usually achieve more than snark and derision.

That man should be living in a house made out of Oscar statues.

In a job that will remain unnamed, I worked in a team of about 35 people. There was one black guy that worked in the team. His surname was Token.
It was unfortunate, although actually a little funny because it was actually otherwise a very diverse crew of people.

Will Smith is really the one A-list black actor who gets to play whatever the heck he wants in big-budget movies instead of just being a supporting character.
Samuel L. Jackson basically just gets the same role over and over but everyone loves him as-is so it’s all good. (They did have to edit out most of the “MotherF***ers” he dropped while recording his dialogue for The Incredibles though.)
