Name for an African-American male who tries to use "diversity" or "equal employment opportunity" policies to get a job regardless of their qualifications, or one who tries to play the race card to intimidate or influence others. From the Jedi Knight "Obi Wan Kenobi" of Star Wars and his famous "Jedi Mind Trick," where he fooled the Stormtroopers by telling them "These are not the droids you are looking for."
Black Guy: "I should apply for a job at that new restaurant. I see they ain't got any brothers workin there yet."
White Buddy: "Slow down, Toby Wan Kenobi. You got fired from your last three food service jobs. Maybe you should look into work you are actually qualified for."
or,
Cop #1: "I pulled over this beemer for doing 70 in a 50, and the driver was this wealthy-looking black guy. He had the nerve to accuse me of profiling, even though he had tinted windows, and I didn't know he was black until after I pulled him over!"
Cop #2 "I hate when they turn into Toby Wan Kenobi."

Get the kenopolis mug.All the Southern stereotypes alive in one place. I hate it when ppl stereotype the South but i have to say, when i visited Knoxville i saw all of those stereotypes first hand. Im from Memphis and were not nearly as redneck & hillbillish as those folks in Knoxville. It seems like the further east you go in TN, the more redneck it gets. Here in West TN, we have rednecks, but they're nice looking and well dressed. But the rednecks in East TN are basically what everyone thinks of when you hear the word redneck. I saw the ugliest ppl on earth over there. Its probably a result of the inbreeding that went on in East TN. Now im not saying that all the ppl in Knoxville are ugly, but most of the ppl i ran into were ugly. I was prolly in an ugly part of town. I kno every city has an ugly part of town, but these ppl were beyond any kind of ugly i've seen over here.
