F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

On top of that, a lot of the people dismissing him because he was pale were also using that as an excuse for whitewashing Kahn in the new film. They may have cast a mexican man (who these people insist was white...) as Khan, but 31 years later they cast the whitest british dude ever. The character was still indian, no matter who they cast in 1982.

Except he was originally supposed to be Nordic superman (like Hitler's ideal). And Khan was never explicitly Indian. He was just probably one based off his name (which is two last names and one non-existent name).

"The character was originally conceived of as a Nordic superman by scriptwriter Carey Wilber before his ancestry was changed in script revisions." His ancestry WAS changed. If the name Kahn Noonien Singh isn't a big enough indicator...

Yeah, this. Plus, the Eugenics Wars took place in either Mongolia or Siberia, that region of the world. (IIRC, the Botany Bay was launched from Mongolia --- but my Star Trek Technical Manual from the 1970s with all the info on the Eugenics Wars is in storage rn.)
