I saw this episode the first time when I was a kid. I did not spot the difference until Kirk asked. Once it was pointed out, I was smart enough to understand the message--that the difference between races is superficial and unimportant. So, I wasn't as stupid as Trump. Yes, I realize that's not a high bar. Also, not that Trump has ever seen a single episode of Star Trek. I just wanted to shit on Trump, obviously.
We should all take every opportunity to shit on Trump.

Dude is into being pissed on by Russian prostitutes. It might be worth considering that he’d enjoy being shit on too.

This is like the unbridgeable gulf between cream tea Cornish- and Devon-style.

Naively, one would presume that half-blackface would be about 50% the cringe-level as blackface... and yet...

When the most tedious person you know made a good point.

Whenever the race(s) in this episode look in the mirror, they see the enemy. I don't think that's brought up in the episode but it would be true.

It would be like a betta fish attacking its own reflection.

Maybe they build their mirrors differently...
/s I thought, but then again... they literally could do that, and given their penchants for such, if they can then they definitely will do so, so...
