The Orville

Yup, Asian and Latino =     

Gotta wait a whole week for the next episode...nice to have something to look forward to 

In identity one particular gaping hole in the plot was that the crew had been told to try and get the robots into the union without knowing the first thing about them! Because that's how interplanetary alliances are built, I'm sure - how very realistic.

I had been wondering from the beginning what had happened to the builders of Isaac's race. The Union does seem pretty naive to desperately want an alliance with some artificial lifeforms who openly consider biological life to be inferior and apparently haven't answered any questions about who built them. That pretty much screams Danger, Will Robinson! 

But I guess if you're a little bit open about these concerns in the Union, you might be accused of just being a white guy who feels threatened by empowered artificial lifeforms. So that poor admiral maybe always was concerned about Isaac's race and what they might do, but was more afraid of being called an insecure white dude whose privilege was being threatened if he said anything. We obviously don't need any insecure white guys questioning the motivation of empowered artificial lifeforms who openly see themselves as superior and won't answer any questions about who built them.
