Anyone notice how there's a token black guy with one line in each movie, just so it's not all-white? And there's a few bacground ones, but that's all. The only black guy with a line in PoA was the explanation of what The Grim.
In the books, there's Lee and Dean, and Parvati and Padma--but in the movie, Parvati was white.
I'm not trying to sound rascist, I'm just pointing it out....

Ok in the movie who the hell was that guy? He explained about the grim and said that bit about smoke and he was ugly and fat and he wasn't Lee or Dean.

And they obviously made that black kid specifically for that, as anyone else could've said it.

I've noticed almost every movie has a Token Black Guy, Not Another Teen Movie points that out.

It means the only black guy in a cast of white people.
Ie: South Park. There's one black kid, and his name is Token.
