#'uh bones never made fun of spocks human traits- only his vulcan traits! which is okay bc hes proud of being vulcan!'#huge news everyone its okay to make racist remarks to ur coworkers if theyre proud of being their race! huge news!!!#look i fucking love star trek and i know that by the end spock and bones have a strong friendship#but a huge part of their dynamic is bones being an ignorant and annoying coworker who spock has to put up with#they have to butt heads to learn how to stop butting heads#and in a show thats all about challenging current day stereotypes thru metaphor#of fucking course they had workplace racism as a discussion. IT WAS THE 60's???#the fucking doctor character in the pilot who later became bones was literally questioning if women should even be on the ship#his whole vibe is being kinda backwards for the times#its actually so much more uncomfortable and weird to try to downplay racism with these weird loopholes#than to just admit that a beloved character made offensive comments#holy shit
