They're tacitly admitting the need for special supports (and restrictions) in order to effect some semblance of parity.
Now, imagine if the egos, and demagoguery, were removed and those special supports were apportioned where they'd have the greatest effect .. rather than just to palliate the unwarranted pride of its adherents.
And it doesn't take a genius to guess why they absolutely trashed Star Trek and turned it into the opposite of what it was. You can't have a meritocratic, post scarcity version of capitalism, where hard work and effort is rewarded while laziness and ineptitude is marginalized when you want the opposite to occur.
I'm waiting for them to try and blatantly retcon Tapestry to show that the alternate future where Picard was a cowardly, bumbling, and utterly unmotivated suckup to actually be the "positive" version and we were shown something that wasn't true! They already shit all over things like The Drumhead.
Welcome to my (Nadia Chaudhri's) Go Fund Me page. [Picture of myself] I'm totally doing this to help other people (not Nadia Chaudhri) who are brown and therefore unable to think or work as hard as me (Nadia Chaudhri). Please help me out in this totally selfless (not Nadia Chaudhri) act!
This has been around for 30+ years... Where have you been? 30 years ago when I went to college there was a book of available scholarships that you could buy and you could pay $50 for a printout from the local university of the open scholarships still looking for someone. At the time, given my GPA and my high school rank, I qualified for 100+ scholarships. 0 of these scholarships were allowed to go to white men. They all called for people of color or for women. None of them were for white men.
Do we want to help kids who may have a bright future but are hindered by factors outside their control? Or do we just want to help people who look a certain way get somewhere?
Don't depend on the government or handouts for your education. This lady's whole life has been lived on handouts, just read her own little biography. I can't imagine constantly pan handling to make a living.
"In science fiction, uplift is a developmental process to transform a certain species of animals into more intelligent beings by other, already-intelligent beings." They tried that. It didn't work. So now they're going for the opposite--downfall.

Hello Star Trek.

Around the time Obama got elected and millenials went into the workforce.
It was before that. My university even had fundraisers for scholarships for ILLEGALS. This was before Obama even got elected.
Marxism has permeated so much.

it started before the civil rights act.the first place to start diversity stuff was the Military.
Why diverse and not simply under resourced?
