He wants "Code of Honor" pulled because it somehow shows racial stereotypes... (that because black people were cast as the aliens and that the aliens follow an almost Klingon like respect for battle and shows of force = black people be like all violent and stuff! and thus the smart wypipo must protec them!)
Except that the women actually have all the real power in society and fight their own battles which was (and is) a progressive attitude. (Unless you're a transwoman, which currently trumps all other progressive levels on the marxist ladder of influence.)
Except that the black men are shown as very smart and cunning.
Except that the entire concept was based on Chinese culture pre-communist China. (heh - communism is colonization...)
It's a lousy episode regardless - but it shouldn't be censored.
That's the one with Tasha fighting the alien's queen with a poison glove, right?
Yeah.
