A guy on BlackPlanet messaged me today. He said me liking Spock/Uhura means I feel inferior as a Black woman who desires to be loved by a White male. Never mind fandom, or shipping or liking them as a couple. Nope. Liking this interracial couple is apparently deeper than that and most likely wouldn't apply if my skin color were different. Or would it? Would liking Janeway/Tuvok mean some White woman's desire to be loved by a Black man because it means she feels inferior just because she likes the couple? That question wasn't meant to be answered and was hypothetical.
Lets see. I have Star Trek fanboys not liking that I like this couple because they hate the romance that was added to the Reboot.
I have Star Trek fangirls, mainly hardcore Kirk/Spock shippers give me mess for liking this couple because I should only ship Spirk and how dare I like Spock with anyone else.
Then people outside of the fandom like the dummy I just posted about who views me liking the couple as some inferiority thing.

It's an interesting love story, and it's even double-interracial, not only because of the skin color but also between two Star Trek races, Vulcon and Human.
Yesterday, I watched the episode "The Man Trap" on BR, and I was suprised that Uhura actually tried to flirt with Spock in it. So she wasn't unaffected by him even in TOS.
