As for the Ferengi, unlike with the original Klingons, I don't see anything intentionally or lazily offensive about them. Rather, it seems to be an unfortunate combination of having a race of ultra capitalists (which, given how the main cast announce that they're beyond it any chance they get, reads more as an exaggeration of American excess than of Jewish caricatures) and the fact that facial features need to be exaggerated so that our very human actors can present as aliens. I don't believe there's any unconscious antisemitism going on. --- One can not help but imagine Microsoft as being ran by a thousand Homer Simpsons. -Obturator <cite>splodeymissile posted [p:969489686] in Star trek ...
