#scots stop appropriating anti racism discourse challenge
Text
No putting a Scot on the bridge of the Enterprise is not even remotely up there with the inclusion of a black woman, a Japanese man and a Russian working happily alongside Americans, for the love of Mike.
#scots stop appropriating anti racism discourse challenge#also google scottish colonialism once in a while#CHECK MY SURNAME I CAN SAY IT#star trek#Also not only is it not a triumph of representation that Scotty was third in line of command it was a massive failure#Scotty wasn't even bridge crew#logically it should have been Uhura#which Nichelle Nichols was PAINFULLY AWARE OF#Sure let's just celebrate a white man TAKING THE PLACE OF A BLACK WOMAN#because he wasn't English I guess and inter-colonialist grievances are super relevant in the context of the US in the 1960s

English scum

#I mean I wouldn't be 'English Scum' without the English seizing my ancestors' lands#but personally I don't insert that into conversations about actual racism#or use it to absolve myself of colonialist guilt#or rejoice when a white American man playing a Scot rather badly takes the place logically owed to a Black woman#I mean is English oppression of Scotland relevant or not#if it is it's part of my family history and I get to talk about it#if it's too long ago to matter then HI IT ALSO DOES NOT BELONG ALONGSIDE DISCUSSIONS OF A SHOW MADE AT A TIME WHEN#BLACK PEOPLE HAD HAD THE VOTE FOR ONE ENTIRE YEAR#scots stop appropriating anti racism discourse challenge#colonialist amnesia
