After watching Star Trek for a while, I have come to the conclusion that Star Trek is the most racist show that I have ever seen.

The MOST racist show! You've got to be kidding. How about All in the Family?

Star Trek racist? No

Calling All in the Family a racist show is as dumb as calling Star Trek racist.

It's more racist than Star Trek. That's my point.

Thinking it is "dumber" instead of "more dumb" is the most stupidest though.

Neither show is remotely racist. So, you aren't making any point at all.

TOS had an episode on the absurdity of racism. Two men from a planet whose people are out to destroy each other end up on the Enterprise. Their vendetta is motivated by superficial racial differences -- one is black on the left side of his body and white on the right, while the other has the colors reversed.

So, the Saudi Ambassador to the UN asks his American counterpart.

"My friend, you have always been honest with me, please answer me this question."

American: "Certainly, I will be honest."

Saudi: "My son loves your television show Star Trek, but he is concerned. he says there are all races and nationalities on Star Trek, Blacks, Asians, caucasians, Russians, Indians, Native Americans, French, Spanish, Aliens, but no Arabs. Why are there no Arabs on Star Trek?"

American: "That's easy. There are no Arabs on Star Trek because Star Trek takes place in the future."

Kurn,

I would never argue Star Trek with you, but some would argue that Kahn was from the middle east.

startrek.com says Kahn was from India.

IIRC, Khan Singh was a Sikh.
