    And this is the main reason why I blocked you in the past as a poster before and shall now do so again. You are determined to pick something up the worst possible way and frankly its a pain in the arse to deal with, thats before you start calling someone elses opinion "rubbish" :rolleyes:

    I called the idea that somehow having a diverse (human but lets be honest, that a restriction of budget rather than them being xenophobic, lots of aliens when they look humanish on other trek shows) was unrealistic, and it is, its looking for faults based on the idea that somehow their gender, race or orientation takes away from the show or is a negative. The truth is the poor writing and characterisation and directing and editing. The acting is fine, its just the other issues make it seem bad. I know you say that later but it was a change in tone to make what you said before more acceptable. Either way, congrats, never put anyone on the ignore list before, so i won't have to "discuss" what is blatantly obvious to me what you were doing, intentional or not.

    Based on the numbers it seems *very* convenient, really most of the human crew should be Indian or Chinese.
    I am tired of this conversation, but I just want to inject one fact. The population of Africa is approximately the same size as the population of either of those countries, and something on the order of 2x the population of white people globally. Why do you think black people are rare? Is this some US-centric world-view? Why do we let their ****ed-up racial politics ruin everything?

    Can we move all the "woke" discussions to a separate thread or something and leave the main episode threads for discussing that actual episode? Let all the Parler-rejects hang out there and the rest of us can get back to chatting about Star Trek.

    Its not about the US at all, its not even about black people, you make the point yourself.

    An accurate representation of the world would have mostly black and asian crew members (accounting for 77% of the people on our planet) but thats not what we see, leading some to believe that there is something else driving the decisions to create characters.
