krimson wouldn't the borgs be almost opposite of Germany. The Nazi's wanted to puurify the world, not mix every race together.

In the original series, Kilngons looked just like Mexicans to me. Did they just get more street?

LOL! I mean, that's messed up. Ever seen a tricked-out shuttlecraft or galaxy-class starship? Replicators suck at making chips and salsa.

I think we've got every race nailed down...what about the Q continuum? What do they represent?

I know no one is taking the OP seriously, but Rodenberry's inclusion of Nichelle Nichols in the cast in the late 60s for a prime time show was very important for black television actors. And if you wanted to teach your children to accept all races equally then you could do no worse than having them watch all the Star Trek shows, from all the series, that they are willing to.

Klingons = blacks (loud in yer face very aggressive)

From memory, thus nowhere near complete.

Klingons played by black actors: Worf, Kurn, a couple of crewmen on the Pagh when Riker serves there.

Klingons played by white actors: Gowron, Duras, K'Mpec, Klagg, K'Ehlar, Lursa, B'Etor, Taural, Alexander (child and adult), Martok, Kahless, Kur, Koloth.

Klingons played by Native American actors: Kang

In TOS, Roddenberry patterned the Klingons after the Soviets, from TNG and beyond, they are culturally much more Japanese in nature.

You came to wrong place to spread lies about Klingons.

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."
