Holy shite. Mark this thought for me, mark it please.

Larie
Spock is Japanese.

Loezzy
Whoa. Why is that?

Larie
He's a workaholic, seemingly void to any emotion. He is so professional in the technologic field that he has become detached from being a living being. He seems more of a computer than a person. This comes close to the way Japanese were seen, some decades ago. And they still are seen like that, sometimes.

Larie
What's more, in the eyes of 'normal' Americans or Europeans, he's also extremely strange. His weird eyebrows might suggest Asian eyes. Plus, he's got green blood and pointy ears, which makes him fundamentally different and 'the OTHER'.

Larie
(I never thought 'Orientalism' would come in handy sometime. Hehe.)

Larie
I guess what the creators were trying to say is, though, that in their utopian future, everyone can cooperate and love each other, hence Chekov, Sulu and Uhura.

Larry
My god. Why don't you use this brilliant train of thought in your final thesis?

Larry
You never know, they're academics. They might buy this insanity.
LarieDoesn't anyone here support me in this?!

LarieI should've known.
BonoHey Larie! I believe you! ^_^
Larie

spirit of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer underneath your
bed.
BonoBut it was right there, I swear to god! All glowing...glowing red...
