Why are the only Indian characters in Trek either a greasy dude sending out a distress call about his busted ship who managed to have his viewscreen camera cocked sideways, a guy who cheated and broke the law, or a captain who hands over command of his ship to the nearest tall white man then gets killed minutes later by an alien for answering a question?

Is there any canonical explanation for this???

Shitloads because they film in Ontario which has a big Panjabi-Canadian population. Rekha Sharma, who was Tori on BSG, was in STD. T'pring and her mother are also indian-canadian. Just off the top of my head because I'd bang em all.

Dinesh? He needs to go back to being flabby like he was in Silicon Valley. Yeah, he'd make a great addition to a Trek crew.

>Richard Bashir
>Julian Bashir
I don't know about the other two but Richard's actor is semi-Indian (Jewish Indian + Jewish Iraqi, Israeli but citizen-of-the-world, with a Muslim half-sister, which means without looking at his family tree he's not the kind of Indian you'd be looking for) and I can't remember why I thought his character was from London, either by his choice of accent or he says as much. The wife is portrayed by an Egyptian Arab with dual American citizenship however we don't know her immediate ancestry.
Julian's actor is Arab-English and a closeted Muslim who claims he's open to being gay which is why he's married to a woman.

You would be better to ask why there are so few Indian Indian actors (check if the other two have Jewish backgrounds too) and that's probably because it wasn't until recently the US sought immigrants from the subcontinent and there's no bollywood->hollywood recruitment pipeline so they'll likely need to wait for home grown talent that doesn't care about India (as much as someone from India would).

>old trek writers SWEAR ferangi were based on wallstreet types and NOT jews
Does anyone actually buy this? Even shit like the 300 Rules of Acquisition echos Jews and there millions of rules they remember from the talmud.
>>
>>217460205
I mean wallstreets types ARE jews
>>
>>217460205
Well, you can't pin the "Ferengis are Jews" on anybody specifically because Roddenberry just wanted them to be "Yankee Traders" at first but that's a super esoteric historical niche that most people don't get at all, so obviously they needed to change the race to make them more interesting. They flopped hard in early TNG, I don't think anybody liked them.

And from the Yankee Trader thing, well, making them greedy bastards obsessed with economics was kind of a logical pivot. It's more like Roddenberry's original idea had already tethered them to a commercial identity which limited what the other writers could do to make them more interesting, so they just went all in on it which, well, was an unfortunate coincidence with the make-up.
>>
>>217458368
Indian character or played by an Indian?
>>
Let's be honest. They were never "yankee traders". Roddenberry wasn't a fool.
>>
>>217460317
The original depiction isn't really stereotypically Jewish though. They're just kind of generic villains.

>>217458368
Bashir is half sudanese and half white. Also he's the nephew of Clockwork Orange man.

It's actually kind of incredible how DS9 managed to salvage what was an utterly shit species during TNG. In most things, I prefer TNG, but my god, Ferengi were atrocious as a villain race.

It's funnier and more clever than literally anything I've seen to come out of Trek since the end of Enterprise.

Which is not to say that it's funny or clever. But it's funniER and cleverER.

Dear Bajor:

Considering your Planet decided not to give me any statues for having stopped 50 percent of occupation deaths PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the Cardassian people.

Bajorans cannot protect that world from Qo'noS or The Founders, and why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway? There are no written documents, it's only that a lightship launched from there hundreds of years ago, but we had lightships landing there, also.

I have done more for Bajor than any other person since its founding, and now, Bajor should do something for Cardassia.

The Alpha quadrant is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Bajor.

Thank you!

Gul Dukat

I wish i could love this fucking trainwreck based on the first one alone, and then doubly so by the second one alone, and then triply so by the third. But I can’t because even three excellent actors can’t fix a badly writ, poorly designed, amateurishly shot coverband tribute act.

They have exaggerated jew-like features from the start, yes, but their depiction is just "weird horny aliens" so they don't really register as a Jew stereotype in the same way that say, the Harry Potter goblins do.

There is a financial element to their initial design but again, it's not really Jew-like at all. They have some weird bartering dynamics in their culture but still, mostly just "weird looking horny aliens" which is a very Roddenberry kind of thing.

Like I said before, I don't think anybody is really to blame for how they end up. The later TNG/DS9 writers didn't really have too many places to take them. They could make them hornier but given how disgusting they looked, they would never be taken seriously as villains. So they embraced the economic side and played them for comedy instead and ultimately, it was a much better thing for them that gave them a unique identity.

Vick was supposed to depict Frank Sinatra who was known for refusing to play venues if his black musician/performer pals weren't allowed access to the place, or had to sleep in a separate hotel or something.

Sinatra famously would not sing anywhere Sammy Davis Jr wasn't welcome.

Not to mention most of the underage (sub-40) crowd here are too young and internet-programmed to remember that racial and ethnic stereotypes have changed considerably over time. The modern "jew" that late millennials/genz now shiver in perpetual fear over is in fact an amalgam of many tropes and stereotypes that were previously leveled at other non-Euro tribes like Greeks, Turks, Mosselmen, Arabic merchants, etc etc. It's never just been "the jews" and only that, it was anything that set an anglosaxon's lip to quivering. Hell, Watto in the Phantom Menace is much more arabic or turkish than he is jewish but that's now "close enough" for the younglings to just lump it together and not worry about the specifics of racial humor.
