almost ROFLcopter until you realize these kids could be the future of this (still) great nation.

These guys should dig up a copy of Weird Fantasy April 1953 and read Judgement Day. A remarkable sci fi story. They might learn something about race and sci fi. I was too young to read the original but read it around 1957 when it was reprinted in Incredible Science Fiction. You can eadily find it on the web by typing Judgement Day comic.

Sci-fi racism must end
Good luck even finding any real sci-fi anymore. Most of it is now fantasy, sometimes with a thin veneer of pseudo-scientific jargon smeared on. Worrying about the need to end racism/sexism/whateverism in science fiction is like worrying about the urgent need to end bad breath in wooly mammoths.

I never saw an African American Borg...
Stuoid SJWs would still call a black Nebulon African American.

while another species is coded as dark skinned, brutal and not civilized. A movie that mirrors reality?
What a concept!

The good news is that there are amazingly stupid people of all races, religions, and sexual orientation. :-)

I have a better idea. Student whining and nausea inducing fault-finding must end.

I’m sorry, apologies in advance, but women are terrible Scifi writers. This women could be among the worst with her overtly racist novel.

I read the Divergent series.
Not bad; written for a teen audience. Interesting dystopian premise with rather engaging characters discovering their great secrets about reality.
The core flaw is the intensely advanced technology & culture with chronically insufficient population to support it: there’s an ongoing sense that the city only has a few hundred occupants but functions on a level requiring 1000x more. As such, the story feels unsettlingly out of touch with what should be reality.
Engaging, but not compelling.

Is that all? I was sure the thread would be complaining that muzzies weren’t in charge of deep space exploration.

Well step one is don’t support hacks like Roth. Really Divergent is terrible and plays in all the boring hackneyed sci-fi symbol tropes.
