Main Fantastic Racism Discussion
Can the human on human racism in BSG be considered Fantastic? It seems pretty run of the mill racism.
Fantastic racism?! Since when is racism fantastic?! It's harmful and evil!
Whoever started that trope should be punished for it.
Removed because it's just regular old racism:
- Played for laughs in The Animal where the protagonist's Black Best Friend, Miles, doesn't ever get people's attention because he's black.
In the Avatar example, I would argue that a really expensive superconductor is not likely to save earth or humanity. The trope still applies, but the stuff in the spoiler text is not true.
Removed from the Top 10 entry under comics:
- It's fairly quickly established that she doesn't dislike him because he's a robot, she dislikes him because He joined the force to replace her friend and partner Girl One, who had just been killed.
Is this still only applicable when the prejudice is symbolic of something specific in real life, rather than just any imaginary prejudice? I remember that being pointed out before somewhere, but the description as it is now doesn't make that point.
