    For the Yangs versus Kohms, that seemed to be prejudice due to different ideologies, rather than due to their appearance (especially given their origin). Commented Jan 23, 2018 at 14:09
  • @Thunderforge - The Enterprise crew speculated that the war started that way, but by the time of the episode it had become more of a traditional hatred.

    But was it hatred over race? Or just hatred over being "other"? It's been a long time since I've seen that episode, so perhaps they did address it. My recollection was that the "traditional hatred" wasn't due to the color of their skin (just like how US Capitalists vs. Soviet Communists wasn't "racism" because the discrimination was due to ideology, not skin color, or football rivals are at odds with each other but not due to skin color). Perhaps adding a quote from the episode to support that this is racism would help. Commented Jan 23, 2018 at 17:21

    Augments versus "natural" humans: are Augments strictly human - homo sapien - though? I don't think so and they are better than us in the sense they have superior abilities only. Remember Neanderthals are classed as human species but if one could be brought back I don't think anybody would agree that we are the same. For one thing they are stronger and had bigger brains and are likely to have been different in many ways.

    Augments don't count. Klingons have been retconned too many times, and if Thunderforge is right, Yangs and Kohms are the same race.
