If it wasn't "that frikking big of a deal" back then than why was the director banned from returning to the series after the episode aired because of the backlash over its racist overtones?
going to tell you this one last time.
there's always a show whether old show or new show where there's always a so called racist/sexist "undertone" whatever episode.
crap like that wasnt a big frikkin issue back then for cripes sake. Star Trek should be the one to blame for that crap. Its comedy shows, action shows, animation etc

The very same point could be made in respect of you reading and posting about this article. You didn't like it, so why are you amplifying it and continuing to argue about it?
That list was low hanging fruit.
You didn't actually answer the question. If it wasn't a big deal back then as you claim, why was the director of the episode fired and not allowed to direct another TNG episode because of it?
Well said. Most of the points it made were issues that TNG fans accepted long ago.
Why the director and not the writers?
It was the director's decision to cast black people as the Ligonians. There was nothing in the script specifying their skin color.
Because their job was done?
Ahhhhhhh, that makes sense now.
I’m surprised everyone went along with it during production.
Warning for Flaming. Read the rules and chill the overall hostility.
This is clearly sexist. I wonder why you don't mind a bit of sexism in your TV?
i dont get all worked up when i watch an episode of a ts how that i used to watch when i was a kid from the 1980s or 1990s. it wasnt that big of a deal back then frankly. it was just an episode they did yada yada.
the only people these days that bring up the racist/sexist stuff in an show or in an episode are women "writers"/bloggers on frikkin movie and tv show entertainment sites like screenrant. its like how old are these people on screenrant where they have to constantly bring up old crap like that especially when they have to rag on and still pick on old certain episodes of Star Trek and/or Star Trek Next Generation.
There were other old shows and movies from 60 years ago where they had the same crap but noone gave a shit back then.
also that crap has been thrown in cartoons too but noone ever rags on cartoons. But whatever

I have a feeling that the curtains will be closing on this performance soon.
So not a single man has a problem with the racism and sexism of old TV series?
@herofhyrule
Of course I have a problem with it. That's what the report button is for. There is no need to engage. Just zap it and wait.

I have a problem with it the way I have a problem with people in the 1600's thinking the Earth was flat and the sun went around it. It's just how people were back then.
You can't say "it's no big deal" and then turn around and pretend you're not saying it's not racist.
"Code of Honor" is a work of outright white supremacist propaganda that wants its (white) audience to be afraid scary black men will come to rape white women. It's a big deal. Damn thing should never have been made.
Bold added for emphasis.
Interesting hill to die on.
It is true that racism and sexism were more common in the 1980s. But "Code of Honor" is startlingly racist even by 1980s standards. It's a big deal.
This is just false. Crap like that was always a big issue. Even in the days when it was more normal, those fighting for equality have never just accepted things like this. The NAACP, for instance, organized national boycotts against films like Gone With the Wind and Song of the South. This stuff has always mattered.
The fact that you weren't aware it was a big issue back in the day doesn't mean it was not.
Also false. Racist cartoons have always been controversial.
Man, you’re on a roll here. Trolling warning for your own misogyny.
