Quote:(Can't believe I'm actually standing up for what I've now designated the Klingon Civil Rights Movement...)well you have and now the KCLM is a designated civil rights group
Quote:Also, species is different from race. I'm a different race to black people, but I'm not a different species.doesn't that sort of answer your own question/misgiving.
as a different species we may be able to (unbelievable i know) make out with them but they're as alien to us as a cow or a carrot is. don't we class intelligence above species. for instance;
if cows could talk would we eat it, if it could talk dirty we may even try getting head off it.
blacks, jews and latinos are on the other hand us. racism even between the aliens of star trek is still nominal. and runs on the premise of good we like you, bad we don't.
sensibly they have to be different than us in looks or there wouldn't be a show, they has to be an antagonist or there wouldn't be a show. there has to be good and bad or we'd just turn off. better to add a pair of tits or a big black cock and make it interesting don't you think than do a H.G.Wells. on them and make everyone a utopian stepford wife,
