But then there was that evil race of Klingons. Thinking about the makeup
jobs they wore and clues about their culture I think they might have
been depicted as middle easterners. Then don't forget the Romulans. Were
they evil Chinese surrogates?

Hi Carl,
Excellent rant here and I agree with every bit of it.
When I think of man's progress or lack thereof in becoming more civilized, I
often look to Star Trek wherein the population of Earth and other planets
eliminated poverty and learned to live together. True, Earth did experience
more wars and genocide before coming to it's collective senses, but come to our
senses we did.
There are a few episodes of Star Trek in which planets are applying for
entrance into the United Federation of Planets. In order to qualify for
membership, planets must have resolved their differences and lerned to live
together in peace and harmony.
So, the way I see it, we humans are not making progress toward being allowed
entrance into the Federation, we are regressing.
