Johnson, Mendez, Keyes, Kirk, Ohura, Sulu...

They're all more or less still racially "pure." A look at most sci-fi games and stories shows the same. If racism had been conquered, then 500+ years in the future there should have been enough interbreeding that most people would be racially ambiguous.

It goes to show that most sci-fi authors, including Roddenberry, had hope that humanity could conquer the universe while being pessimistic we could overcome our racism in who we mate with.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Just because you don't hate somebody based on their race doesn't necessarily mean you feel any more inclined to fuck them.

In Star Trek specifically, humanity is literally perfect. There's no greed, no corruption, no sexism or racism or homophobia. The fact that Kirk is white is more because of how casting works in our world than a product of the show's universe.

For individuals, you are 100% correct. But we're talking statistics after 10 generations spanning 500 years. Statistically there should have been a significant shift in demographics. That there wasn't means that other forces were at work.

For Star Trek this is true. But what about other media? In Halo, only a very few characters are mixed race. And even then they're in about the same percentage you'll see today. Mass Effect is the only one that shows ethnically ambiguous characters. Fem Shep's ancestors must have held pretty true to the date your kind idea for her to be that lily white.

But there are.

>Star Trek
>Good or relevant after Jew Jew
>New series being shown only on a paid subscription service that is not mainstreamed
>Filled with SJW content, going overboard even for Star Trek
>SJW advertising of the show
>Star Trek being good after Deep Space 9

The show won't make it past half the first season before its canned.

Okay? The point is that it's canon. Muslims exist in the Star Trek universe.

SJWs are on the right side of history, btw

Breaking canon before they even start, top kek.

Either you'll breed out of existence, or your brown friends will throw you off roofs. You won't be apart of history for more than a generation if you get your way.

Extremist Christians want to kill all gays and trans people, too. And social justice has nothing to do with immigration. We need to fix the injustice in this country before we start letting in (potential) terrorists. One problem at a time.

lmao

And how many are there? For every 1 radical Christian attack, there are over 256 Islamic attacks. Roughly 25% of muslims world wide support Jihadism and over 60% support Sharia Law. Do you know how much 25% of 1.6 billion is?
400,000,000. That's more than the population of the United States. Maybe it wouldn't be a large deal if we were importing muslims from civilized areas, but we aren't. We're importing them from where the radicalization breeds.

Agreed, yet they seem to try to stick their nose in everything and try to make it about social justice.

Agreed, but what injustice? Faggots, Shitskins, and Trannies all have the same rights as normal people. Unless, you want to be a protected class, in which case, how is that equality?

There's still widespread discrimination against women and trans people. Homosexuals are more or less universally accepted outside places like Alabama.

Even in New York, an assertive woman is seen as "bitchy" while an assertive man is "tough / no-nonsense".

And that's just social discrimination. There's still institutionalized discrimination such as the wage gap and glass ceiling.

lmao where

and trans people

The only thing that could qualify is the bathroom thing, which is them getting special treatment. Not equality. The only exception to the rule is for stuff like that is the handicapped, unless you want to qualify trans people as mentally ill, which I'm okay with.

I think that's projecting. If a woman is being a bitch, she's being a bitch, not authoritative. A guy can  be an asshole while trying to be authoritative. It's mostly due to the type of person you are, not your sex. It's just more easier for men to be assertive due to testosterone. If a non assertive guy tries to act assertive, he's gonna be an ass. Just like if a non assertive woman tries to be assertive, she's gonna be a bitch.

That just boils down to the person. No need to assign group identity politics to it.

I assume you mean earnings gap? A wage gap implies that men get payed more for the same work, which isn't true.

Earnings gap shows on national average, men earn more, but that because they take higher paying jobs. A woman secretary should not be making the same as a male brain surgeon. To claim that as gender inequality just shows you are retarded. A way to fix this is by having women go into stem fields and work their entire life, ignoring happyness and the want to start a family, but that's just not realistic. It's a non issue.

Quote
and glass ceiling

Because men are naturally better at doing some things better than women on average. You don't see men complaing that there's a glass ceiling on them because they can't give birth.
