@Wicked Alf Tolkien white guys = Token white guys. Token is when you put in someone from a different ethnic group than the rest of the cast so you can be "inclusive and diverse" in your casting roles. That is why South Park has a black kid named Token (he is the only black kid in the show).

Just to stand out with the likes of Ultron, and Killmonger. There's several scenes that he just ran away, giggling with while the main baddie just stood there looking confused. The hero support can be more reserved, and dignified. Like Ross, and Maria Hill.

Interesting how some people e.g. just as Benedict Cumberbatch seem to stay the same age over 20 years and then from one year to the other seem to have aged by 1-2 decades all of a sudden. Martin seems to be one of these people. Even though I can't really think of any women I have thought about in that way. But here the sentence "He suddenly got old" really fits.

Tolkien is wordplay on 'token', so it's token white guys. Esp. in the USA, they talk about token black people. It means the black people are there for the film to look diverse and inclusive, but it's essentially just a PR (propaganda) stunt, or a marketing stunt.

Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis both appear in The Hobbit movies based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien. In Panther they are in a predominantly black cast so are what is known as Tolkien white guys. It's a reversed play of words on the phrase "Token black guy" in movies when a character that originally was written as white is cast as black.
