why so many black POTUS in movies/TV shows? why so many black POTUS in movies/TV shows?

Wow, Gene Roddenberry must be mocking us all from beyond the grave.

The original second in command was a different race than the captain. We've been thinking inside the box by focusing on one particular skin color.

Bust free from the box! Be unchained in the glory of Spock.

Had to be half-human, though. Full Vulcan wouldn't play in Peoria.

earlybirdy, noticing things can often lead to politically incorrect thoughts. please proceed cautiously.

Full Vulcan. Within the ST dimension's timeline, chronologically first.

No Asians handing out awards or performing at the Grammy's. Plenty of whites and blacks though.

What are your thoughts on that?

Asians will never play a big role in the US. With the history between white/black, and the next large group being Hispanics, Asians are a distant, distant 4th. Just by population %s it makes sense.

That's ok though. Most of us don't really care.

On the subject of hockey (ok, so this is tangential, but seemed like an appropriate thread for it), LOL this racist Canadian dude when people start talking about PK Subban:

it seems quite obvious to me that PKS stands out and attracts a lot of negative attention due to his skin colour. are we really going to pretend that racism isn't a factor here?

update: caught some of the Habs game against the Red Wings the other day, and the crowd there was indifferent towards Pernell Karl. so Detroit confirmed racially tolerant city.

In your opinion NHL fans are Racist. You're only saying that because they're White.

Are you being facetious?
01-27-2014 , 05:11 PM
Are you posting SE junk in here?
01-27-2014 , 09:20 PM
Wait wait wait. So you're not allowed to call phb a ginger in SE but you're allowed to have a ****ing "White Genocide" avatar?
01-27-2014 , 10:39 PM
You're not allowed to hurt PHB's feelings in ANY WAY.
01-27-2014 , 10:40 PM
He's a tattler.

Silver what did you think of that coke commercial during the SB where America the beautiful was sung in different languages?
02-03-2014 , 04:58 AM
not that i actually get the chance to watch too many habs games to get an actual reference on how "hated" subban is and whether he deserves his reputation, but i've heard that he's kind of a selfish douche and when you have someone that already has a rep for being a selfish douche and he's actually really good, pretty much everyone hates him. i mean, look at every white guy that's ever played basketball for duke. most of them weren't even selfish douches, they just were in the program that has a reputation for having selfish douchey white dudes.

i've never seen too many people outside of boston **** on joel ward, but he's also nowhere near subban talent-wise. maybe if the caps didn't actually suck and could knock a few more teams out of the playoffs for a change he'd get more hate. but you also have to filter it through the lens of whether it's actually hate bc they're black dudes or it's just stupid people trying to pick the most offensive **** to say because they're stupid. i mean, if there were actually a harmful racial slur for white people, how many times would eric lindros have had it thrown his way for being such a bitch?

and re: pon farr:

i'm kinda surprised that they made a big deal out of it constantly and no vulcan ever was apparently like "a meaningless sexual encounter while using contraception would be the logical way to avoid dying due to a failure to mate." i mean, i find it hard to believe that no one would have looked at vulcan jolene blalock and been like "yeah, i'd tap that."
