Riker tapped tons more, then again that beard drives me crazy when I see it and I am a man...

We fixed that. This was just a warm up picture as we took the uniforms out of their plastic packaging they had been in for about a decade (ebay).

Sorry about my face.... I say that a lot

Oh, and she didn't know about trek until I showed her muahahhahahahah.
I also got her to like Red Dwarf

She's having trouble getting me to love designing shows though hehe.

Star Trek racist?

Hell, the only social frontier they haven't dealt with properly is homosexuality. Although they've still tried in round about ways.

Racist? No, at least not the original Star Trek. Quite the opposite.

Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura in the original series, was the first black woman "featured in a major television series". She wanted to leave the series but stayed on because "Martin Luther King personally convinced her that her role was too important as a breakthrough to leave".

"Her role as Uhura on Star Trek was the first time that an African American actress was portrayed in a non-stereotypical role. Previously, African American female actresses were depicted as maids or housekeepers, and Nichols' role broke the stereotype barrier among African American actresses."

"In her role as Uhura, she participated in the first interracial kiss on US television, with William Shatner (Captain Kirk) in the 1968 Star Trek episode 'Plato's Stepchildren' ... the episode was not screened in some Southern states as a result of the protests in those states ... "

I'm glad you posted that, so I didn't have to go look it all up.

Star Trek broke racial boundaries. The OP is a flaming moron.

Bah this thread is ridiculous. Everyone is trying to apply races to other species when there is specifically a human species in the show that encompasses all races.

 

[lokiju]

Slowly backs out of thread....

Star trek is racist against forengi, it portrays them all as greedy and money grubbing. It also negatively portrays the borg as commandeering. Motion to boycot star trek for negative borg stereotypes!!!

Oh, wait, it's already been cancelled...

What's wrong with that picture?

OK, smartypants, then what race/culture do the Andorians and Denobulans represent? :laugh:

:beer:

Denobulans = Indian. The only one you see is a doctor.

vulcans are white. have a stick up their butt, and are superior in strength to humans too racist
