Khan’s character was essentially supposed to be the product of eugenics. Having Khan, the most superior of the “augments” being non-white in the 1960’s when eugenics was synonymous with “white supremacy”…it was a big deal.

“You watch it and on the surface it was goofy and it had all these scenes in it and then you would turn around and go…- Racism is wrong….you didn’t know why. Like Kirk would make love to a green woman and you’re like ‘we should live together in peace”

“So I shouldn’t be surprised that the Mother’s Day Parade shooting has largely been forgotten. On Sunday, shots were fired into a crowd during a parade in the New Orleans 7th ward. Police said they saw three suspects running from the scene.
