He also hasn't seen Alien or Aliens, apparently. I really want to know what he's actually seen in which robots were treated with such love and respect. The fucking Jetsons ?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am working on the play which coined the term robots, and it is full of racism against robots. Also, it is basically Battlestar Gallactica, which is sort of weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The one where they had to have a trial to determine Data's status?

Well sure, but all the people he actually worked with treated him with respect and fondness.

Still, just one more thing Marshall-Green wasn't watching if he never saw any prejudice. It got at least an episode's worth of attention.

Hell, even Star Wars had 2nd class status for robots. "These are not the Droids you are looking for." Has this guy ever watched or read any science fiction?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Not to mention humans seem to have zero problems with memory-wiping Droids that either know something problematic or are behaving in a way they don't like.
Luke's affection for R2 is also seen as odd by the fighter mechanics.
