It's less funny when it's explained. You just have to get it, but here goes. Tolkien is the last name of the author of The Lord of the Rings. It's making a pun of the archetype the "token" (which sounds like Tolkien) black guy, which is usually only present to be racially diverse. The Lord of the Rings' fan-base, I suppose, wouldn't be largely made up of black people, therefore he'd be the token black guy.
