41: That’s Ridiculous - a podcast by Trek.fm

Racism In
TOS.

Good science fiction is known for addressing contemporary issues
in creative ways, and The Original Series was no
exception. In this episode of Standard Orbit, Mike and
Drew talk about racism and how TOS dealt with it (or didn't). We
cover how the casting tried to overcome the racism of the era and
how they directly tried to deal with it in the plots. We also
discuss if McCoy being racist towards Spock undermined the
integrity of the show's anti-racism message, and if it's okay that
the entire crew acts racist towards the Klingons in Star Trek
VI.
