Is Star Trek Racist?

While I think the OP is an idiot, I'll just say that if you watch the Special Features and Director's Commentary of Star Trek IV: The Undiscovered Country, you'll see how much Patrick Stewart hates Arabs

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.

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.
