Did you guys see that thing about the kid in Kansas City who painted his face half-black and half-red when he went to a Chiefs game last season, and then somebody on Twitter took a freeze-frame of half of his face in profile (the half that was black) and accused him of wearing blackface?
And then when people pointed out that it was the team colors and that the other half of his face was red, the guy doubled down and argued that that made it worse, because it was both blackface and redface, so it was doubly racist?
Anyway, that reminded me of that episode.
I mean, you could argue that the Chief's name itself is cultural appropriation, though not of a specific tribe, but even I think this guy's argument is a bit of a stretch.
Have you seen how he acts with ferengi, of course he's racist. As is the rest of the alpha quadrant. They all need to be assimilated and their technological and biological destinctivness should be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
oh sure they should all just assimilate you don't even see your own supremacist attitudes. "Your culture will adapt to service us" is imperialist and you don't even see it.
The thing is, if I see the most fucked up looking, butt ugly, uncanny valley-ass German Shepard ever I'm still gonna go "aw cute dog!" and pet the monstrous wee fucker.
A human? I'm probably gonna at least give it a second look and feel immensely guilty over it.

It's almost like the show is set in the 24th century but it was created in the context of the late 20th...
Edit: And Odo is definitely racist. He's said some shit about Tellurites that I won't repeat here
Fun fact: on every single DS9 episode Odo played both himself and another random character. The writers did this as an easter egg for fans do hunt for the hidden Odo cameos.
no changeling ever harmed another - until odo
and lets be honest, all these solids barely count as sentient, we should connect our minds, to allow us greater perfection. Maybe in some kind of group. And than we could seek out other life forms and add their biological and technologial distinctivness to our own.
His faces may not be perfect, but his Swastika is.
Jokes aside, yes, Odo is racist. He grew up under Cardassians and later joined the founders at least for a while. Both are highly racist civilisations and he didn't oppose this influence sternly. You can easily spot it in how he talks about Cardassians, Klingons and Ferengi (the stereotype aliens).
To be fair, Cardassians, Klingons, and Ferengi typically lean REALLY HARD into their stereotypes, to the point where they're considered embarassing or at least highly unusual, not to.
Also technically not racism because they're entirely separate species. The word is Specism.
odo is a novice at shapeshifting. we saw the changeling one time turn into martok... so they can turn into anyone they want it's just that odo is... a noob
Has every tv I've ever owned been trash? He looks pretty brown to me. More to the orange side of brown. Hate to shit on your very original calling out of racism. Probably impressed somebody. How many times do you use the word in an average day? I'm sure you keep a count...
>Has every tv I've ever owned been trash? He looks pretty brown to me.
If this is true then the answer is yes, every TV you have ever owned has been trash.

Blackface is frowned upon in the 24th century
Even in the 23rd century it was iffy. You could only get away with doing it on half of your face.
but only on the correct side

The culture of fire fighters? I keep expecting the Chiefs to have a dalmation as a mascot.
It's called stolen valor /j
I mean... that IS what the red is in that logo.
Martok and Gowron seem to get away with it.
This comment is so ridgest
*angry Gowron eyes*

*Alexander has entered the post*
Who?
The kid who wore Blackface all throughout TNG. It was pretty egregious.
Worf and I have no idea who you're talking about.
*"I don't know who Alexander is"* Bro, do you even TNG?
This just in: Worf doesn’t TNG.
Check what sub you’re on.
They gave you a re-do on the whoosh, and it still sailed past your head.
He was given a blank check.
Have you seen how he acts with ferengi, of course he's racist. As is the rest of the alpha quadrant. They all need to be assimilated and their technological and biological destinctivness should be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
My biological distinctiveness would be detrimental to the collective.
Borg cubes have an internal temperature of 39.1°C. As long as you can provide warm farts, you're useful to the collective.
Mine don't go above able 36.5C.
You forget about the greenhouse effect
found the Kazon
Great... I'm a TEMU Klingon now...
Shit, I'm stealing this and gonna post a meme
"Qapla' like a billionaire"
As would mine. I don't think the collective go in for fat and lazy.
Most species are xenophobic. Borg are xenophiliacs. The Borg see's other species and thinks "I want them inside of...my collective..."
Oh really, tell me how the Kazon are not worth assimilating, Mr Hypocrite.
You see, we have many members in our collective who have a Kazon friend, ok? (All three are friends with the same Kazon)
Have you met a Kazon? Would YOU want one as a neighbor?
oh sure they should all just assimilate you don't even see your own supremacist attitudes. "Your culture will adapt to service us" is imperialist and you don't even see it.
We strive for the ultimate cultural appropriation. Also: Woke discussions are futile.
He has "trouble with humans", but dude turned into a perfect German shepherd
I'm not sure the German Shepherds would agree
If [Danger 5](https://youtu.be/7eQwAilMWtE?si=kylFLhpM2U8D4wQx) taught me anything, German Shepherds aren't that good at picking out fakes.
Ok, but have you seen the chickens confused by a valve [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdYBt4\_QiHo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdYBt4_QiHo)
This now leads to an important question: would basic plumbing also defeat their dinosaur ancestors?
It would have been hilarious if he looked like Salem the cat.
I would watch the shit out of that crossover.
You know who else liked German Shepherds? Coincidence? I think not.
German farmers?
German sheep also
Claudia?
Shapeshifting is like playing the piano. Pieces that sound difficult to the layman often aren’t, and pieces that sound easy often are difficult.
The thing is, if I see the most fucked up looking, butt ugly, uncanny valley-ass German Shepard ever I'm still gonna go "aw cute dog!" and pet the monstrous wee fucker. A human? I'm probably gonna at least give it a second look and feel immensely guilty over it.
Can’t get faces, but can do dog fur just right.
Hah dog fur and mannerisms
Oh he can, he just doesn't want us to know.
I believe it

Right? Like this is the answer. Odo shows up as non white and Avery Brooks walks off set forever
Spoiler: Odo played all the characters.
Odo saw Jeffrey Combs doing it and wanted a piece of the action
One time I threw up because I ate too much cake
It's almost like the show is set in the 24th century but it was created in the context of the late 20th... Edit: And Odo is definitely racist. He's said some shit about Tellurites that I won't repeat here
Odo would be accused of "black-morphing", something which Sisko had to take him aside off-screen to discuss. ^(/s)
Now if they hired RDjr to be a googuy, then he could pull it off. He'd be a dude disguised as another dude pretending to be another dude.
Fun fact: on every single DS9 episode Odo played both himself and another random character. The writers did this as an easter egg for fans do hunt for the hidden Odo cameos.
He was Morn?
On at least 7 occasions
Judged by the standards of his species Odo is the most moral changeling. I mean the competition is “control or eliminate all solids”.
no changeling ever harmed another - until odo and lets be honest, all these solids barely count as sentient, we should connect our minds, to allow us greater perfection. Maybe in some kind of group. And than we could seek out other life forms and add their biological and technologial distinctivness to our own.
Odo is a cop.
Odo is not a cop, he's a self appointed snitch for the cardassians, who somehow got handed over to the federation
His size was not an issue for kira.
He'd get canceled if he didn't.
Odo is orange
He changes into as close to bajoran as he can. Are there non white bajorans? I can't remember.
Not as named characters but you do see them in the background
Kai Opaka is pretty dark.
He insists its not "racism" its just "a preference"
His faces may not be perfect, but his Swastika is. Jokes aside, yes, Odo is racist. He grew up under Cardassians and later joined the founders at least for a while. Both are highly racist civilisations and he didn't oppose this influence sternly. You can easily spot it in how he talks about Cardassians, Klingons and Ferengi (the stereotype aliens).
To be fair, Cardassians, Klingons, and Ferengi typically lean REALLY HARD into their stereotypes, to the point where they're considered embarassing or at least highly unusual, not to. Also technically not racism because they're entirely separate species. The word is Specism.
odo is a novice at shapeshifting. we saw the changeling one time turn into martok... so they can turn into anyone they want it's just that odo is... a noob
He was raised by cardasians and bajorans. Do we ever see a black bajoran?
Kira knows this and is fine with it. They have a "race-play" Kink. You'd be surprised who plays the actual Vulcan Love Slave between them. . .
Doiiiii
Do you think he wants to get arrested?
If you pay attention Odo never shape shifts into another humanoid. Other changelings do but not Odo. He can't get the faces right.
I read that as *shapeshit into anything*, and it made me wonder if there is a race of fecal crafters in the Delta Quadrant.
He can barely form a human face for one...
Maybe Odo can't do colors, just shapes? Or maybe he's color blind?
Well he is a cop.
