In my opinion ignorant people of color call black people who don't dress or talk like them Uncle Tom.
These guys for example. These guys represent most of the black people on CV, if these guys weren't YouTube famous they would be considered Uncle Toms because they're into nerdy shit. Ignorant people of color would target them and call them Uncle Toms.
An actual Uncle Tom isn't so easily defined or identified but I do believe they exist. Ben Carson is an example in my opinon. Uncle Ruckus for an extreme example of a black person who suffers from self hate and wants to be considered white at the very least. I think Tom from Boondocks is suppose to a stereotypical version of what we black people normally view as an Uncle Tom but he in fact is not one. I think his character is suppose to contrast with Ruckus'.
