I want to see the Andorian of discovery!

Do the chaplains on Starfleet ships pass a collection plate around during services?
Oh right, on topic. Do Andorian customs allow a collection plate be passed around during religious services officiated by a military chaplain?

Maybe there's a religious ceremony involved with Andorian tonsillectomies thus explaining what the CMO's been up to all this time.
 
Like TOS.
Context is required here. Network execs were nervous about Spock being a regular cast member, let alone other species, and budget constraints, as well as attitudes were much different in the 60s. So before you condemn TOS, it has to be viewed thru the lense of context and history, a fact lost in discussions about past diversity, this also includes Star Wars. The phrase. It was a different time was invented for a reason. Becase, IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME, AND DIFFERENT VALUE SET, wrong or right, judging things by today's standards is wrong, when not taking into account context and attitudes of the day.
 
my problem is that I'm starting to have a dislike in seeing humans all the time, it's as if I saw movies where there are only white people!
the federation is an intergalactic state founded by four alien races but it seems that there is only a human majority and a minority Vulcan.
The humans that are shown are not even a reflection of real universe humanity. If you never read the novels you would think the only region left on Earth is North America. ( I know its an American tv show and reflects that) but what is the in universe reason for a so called galactic military/exploratory force dominated by North Americans during the DISCO/TOS era?

It is my personal opinion I like the federation and the different peoples that make up the federation! that's why I want to see more of other races of the federation and not just human beings! I also want to know more about the other founding races, the tellarites should also be important!

Why do you end every sentence with an !

The systematic collapse and mass die off of the various third world countries after WWIII probably has something to do with that.

Only 600 million, out of a population of probably ten billion died out per First Contact. Spock only mentions 37 million in "Bread and Circuses". The war was with China (ECON), so even if you knocked out China, 600 million isn't even half of its current population. So, no, that isn't it.

American writers created an American show, which is a reason, up to a point. Discovery is really disappointing on this count, as it is pointed directly at international audiences.

Context isn't "required." Context is for fucking KINGS.

I don't see the disappointment. STD is a show created by Americans, written by Americans, and produced and filmed in America. International audience are smart enough to understand the realities and limitations of television productions.

I am not American and I do not care to see people from other countries I want to see aliens !! I really like saru! but I want to see Andorians and Tellarites!
this should be what you see in a federation ship! because these four races founded the federation is their country!

I think you've hammered the point home that you really really like to see more aliens. :)

What a racist concept! Maybe the rest of the world told the Western humans screw you all, and moved to Alpha Centuri.
