'White genocide in space': Racist "fans" seething at racial diversity in Discovery...

[Refuge]

The social landscape just wants to feed the beast and get mad all the time. It is part of the problem.

Tolerance is tolerance .. there is plenty of room for it..

Some folks keep slipping that in hoping to legitimize their hate. I refuse to tolerate people who use religion as a weapon to deprive people of rights.

 

[Refuge]

Okay..

 

[Long Syntax]

Happy Friday!

 

[Mudd]

Okay..

Yep, it is.

You can not be a fan of star trek and be racist, star trek is about equality of race and gender, it is a criticism of racist and sexist ideas

You mean to say you never have had your mind or opinion changed when presented with facts or appealed to on the basis of compassion or emotion? You have never engaged in a discussion or series of discussions and come away with a different point of view than before the discussion?
Are you saying it is impossible to win hearts and influence minds?

It is impossible now...because...internet. The only thing the internet facilitates is polarization.

....The only thing the internet facilitates is polarization.

Yes.

And only a Sith deals in absolutes.

 

[Balok's Decoy]

Yes.

And only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes. Only the Sith. No one else. Ever.

 

[BillJ]

Only a Sith deals in absolutes. Only the Sith. No one else. Ever.

You know what that means? Most everyone on the internet is a Sith!

 

[Trekkin]

In my view everyone on the internet is a Sith!

 

[CorporalCaptain]

In my view everyone on the internet is a Sith!

You're breaking my heart....

The internet is a great disseminator of information used for the lowering of IQs.

b'elanna was my chilhood crush

the only white man I remember in voyager now is tom, doctor was a hologram

 

[cultcross]

doctor was a hologram

...of a white man.

Voyager was definitely the most diverse of the Trek series to date in its main cast, even though they didn't really do anything with that, and we had to put up with the cringeworthy Native American cultural mashup with Chakotay. It's a shame they retreated to white men again for ENT.

 

[Awesome Possum]

Yeah I would add to the list religious and belief system intolerance.

Religion is given special status in the US, especially Christianity. They don't need tolerance, they actually need to learn to tolerate others.

Enterprise had a great cast and some really great episodes - IMHO. Vulcan female first officer - not too shabby... loved Jolene Blalock's portrayal of T'Pol.

Everybody keeps forgetting Harry, the longest serving Ensign in Starfleet.
