My favorite "token black" is the cook in "Crash Dive." All of the period WW2 movies have their token black dude, and jewish guy, and someone from Flatbush.

Damn how did I miss that article, good find!

They should follow the earlier example and call the dog Trigger instead of ******, the dog must be played by Roger Loyd Pack and must frequently call Guy Gibson "Dave".

And Trigger should fly one of the planes after the pilot is wounded. And get the girl. Girl dog, that is.
