That's not what the meaning of this seems to be, but I'll grant that I may have misinterpreted your words:
But the difference of opinion here seems to be that some of us are saying she was capable of "action" roles or those with greater development, while others are concentrating on what she actually did.
Sorry, but that was actually intended to expand on my comment to
Temis that: "It seems like we are at cross purposes here". In other words I intend to explain the difference of opinion, not have a go at anyone.
My last comment in that post was not quite so magnanimous however, I admit.
...
Jews are non-white? Still, it doesn't make my contention any less true.
And which characters would you say were the Jewish ones?
Good point. I guess there probably aren't that many Jewish Vulcans.
But I thought the implication was that they were both only given one name because of some, perhaps subconscious, prejudice (rather that referring to non-white parts in general). But if not, why is it thought Uhura's single name is bestowed for different reasons than Spock's? Granted he is an alien (casual unconscious insensitivity to aliens?).
I'm probably showing my own cultural insensitivity here but the name "Uhura" seemed enough like a first name that it never seemed odd they always referred to her by her last name.
) I'm reminded of Kirk in COTEOF trying tell the policeman that Spock is obviously Chinese.
