Casting directors, among other Hollywood insiders, called Martel the Chameleon because her appearance and her proficiency with accents and dialects enabled her to portray characters of a wide range of races and ethnicities
I might have been bamboozeled by her talent. I'd say that's a good thing.
Her skin colour is the same as the guy in the background, straight hair, pointy nose.
I understand through the history of the US, that people are considered black based on their heritage and that some people are mixed to the point where they become pale and etc, but this particular person in this particular frame doesn't seem as obviously black as Uhura to a non-black viewer.

"That gave you the idea to go with Charlie's idea?!"
"It seemed logical."
"I don't know, man. Maybe we should blow up the bar and see if doing it Mac's way is better..."

Are all these comments of yours referencing something in particular?

Yeah, I'm trying to break us out of the meme loop!
(Or am I referencing the wrong episode?)

As long as you believe it for a dozen, a hundred times.
(This is only supposed to make as much sense as the flawless logic of black-woman Spock 🖖👂)

You don't see the gif flip between Spock and a black woman?
SatyrSack@feddit.org · 5 pts · 1y
I am not sure what counts as "black", but for me, the last couple frames of the GIF are of T'Pring
TachyonTele@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
Yes, that actress is black lol Not sure why you'd deny it
SatyrSack@feddit.org · 2 pts · 1y
Probably because of her skin tone

I see it. I was reaching desperately too far to make the joke about dozen and hundred, but apparently I failed.

No shaming yourself allowed here. You're good, friend.

The LaForge system
Learn about her existence
Act like a fucking idiot
Forge a version of her in the holodeck
Obsess constantly
Regret
Get over it
Erase holodeck program

I want you to know that this is the best comment I've ever seen.
(Attempting to phrase this like Mac would. But sincerely, this is amazing.)
