Scenes like this one is why I side-eye anyone who thinks RTD handled race in Doctor Who  appropriately.

For reals. 900 years old, this man has dealt with humans and humanity for centuries, and you mean to tell me in all of his time on the planet he doesn’t even have a goddamn BASIC NOTION OF RACISM DOWN?????

Get the fuck out.

SMH. You’ve been a genius forever? And been eating shit on Earth for about the same amount of time? And you DON’T KNOW that the reason why you’ve been able to travel ANYTIME, ANYWHERE is because you’re a WHITE, GUY. Get all the way the fuck outta here man >_>

Funny how the man can spout off quantum physics, a shit ton of different languages and a fuck ton of other philosophical stuff but addressing racism in its basic form is just too fucking hard????

Chile, please….

You know with white, European writers, we were lucky to even get this and the parts in “Human Nature”, since the UK doesn’t have racism.
