Angry Asian Trekkies
Two Asian-Canadian(/American) friends from the 80s rewatch selected episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation in an effort to come to terms with the multicultural politics of their childhood. Both critical and nostalgic, Angry Asian Trekkies seeks to understand the allure and pitfalls of TNG's not quite post-racial longing, and to decide if they can continue to love this show in the twenty first century.

Rewatching "The Last Outpost" (ST: TNG S1E5), we break down the Ferengi as Jewish-Asians; examine the Euro-American heritage of the Federation, and, for our first ever RIKER ALERT, explain how Riker saves the day as an OG cultural appropriator.
