That's really delusional. There was never a stereotype - especially not in the 80's - of black men being awkward around the women. Probably the opposite idea was pushed. If anything his character was a groundbreaking example of "equality" by not making Geordi a hip young wisecracking engineer with Charisma 100 who beds all the white women and always has something clever to say.
Now that I think about it, I believe his original casting sheet said he had "street smarts" and they wanted Wesley Snipes for the role. Dodged a bullet there.
he accused the TNG writers of racism for making his character awkward towards women.
Dude is literally just salty that Worf and Riker got all the pussy, despite that being... totally believable because they are the two strongest men on the ship.
Worf's existence BTFO's everything Burton said. Dude is just a petty little bitch mad about who he had to pretend to be 30 fucking years ago.
and any time they fuck up, it's not their fault... it's just everyone else being racist/sexist. it's fucking pathetic. this is the lens through which they see the world.
article says it's gotten so bad that white people can't do their job anymore because if they even make a basic normal request in the scope of the job from someone who isn't white, complaints alleging racism are filed.
One thing is that you're filling important roles with talentless hacks.
But they're not just obstacles to be worked around.
No, they're actively sabotaging you. And they're succeeding no matter if they're technically subordinates to the production.
Becasue you're also providing them with a script that allows them to bully others to get their way. The ideology has them at the top of a hierarchy based on their "identities", and lays out in detail what to say in the climate the ideology has created to make the shots.
AND you're giving them the motivation to use this power. The ideology is a huge larp where they're good and oppressed and anyone with competence (i.e. anyone who is making arguments not based on the ideology) is evil and secretly plotting to hurt them.
AND you're fueling their anger and hatred through constant misery-port journalism and filling them with a lust for rightous vengence to the point where they start to take pleasure in humiliating those they see as their enemies.
AND you're scaring the incompetent others (the allies) into cheering on whatever the angry, incompetent, hateful mob is pushing for.
When you select for skin color instead of merit, you get talentless hacks who are there because they want their gibs.
