Wanted to get my mind off the terrible shit going on right now, checked out Star Trek: Section 31, and uh… the more I think about it, one particular character is the most racist caricature of an Irishman I’ve ever seen? Diversity win, I guess?
Like, he has poor emotional control, is an actual disease (albeit just able to “infect” technology), and is expecting 190,000 children. Also he’s an alien in a robot Vulcan body, there is no reason to have the (South African) actor put on that particular voice.
It’s far from the worst thing going on in the world right now (they shut down the entire NIH until they can get a bunch of bigots installed to run it!), but this really is the worst timeline
