#KirkWasRight
It's fun watching people mention Bones, Kirk and Spock under this tag which is about bigotry being bad.
When you consider all the racist insults Bones hurled at Spock like fucking constantly. And the one time he undermined his command to almost mutiny.

It's especially heartbreaking though when we learn that Spock has ALWAYS been the outsider. And that Vulcans DO have emotions, very deep and strong ones actually...they just *control* them. And here's Spock, biracial. His people think his Starfleet shit is 'cute' but dumb

They've NEVER accepted him. He was always too human to them. Always watched for his failures. Then he joins THE DIVERSITY CREW, rises to 1st officer and science officer. And is constantly fucking ragged on. Serves on a ship where the medical bay is like 'meh' on him.

Where he's still the outsider, despite being twice as good as ANYONE else on that damned ship. And constantly reminded that he's not like them, he's a VULCAN. And his boss and best friend does jack fucking shit to address these issues. ON HIS FIVE YEAR VOYAGE OF HELL

And... these are the people who allegedly love him, his friends. He doesn't even have a relationship with his Dad by and large, especially on TOS. Nope. His best friends in the world considering him a weirdo outsider alien.

Oh and it's constantly brought up that he's Starfleet's token Vulcan.
