5"Except for everybody, not just white human males." seems rather unnecessary, confusing, possibly confrontational piece of text... I'm not even sure which way you intend it to be interpreted (and this isn't the forum for explaining that, so no need to clarify).– hydeCommented Jul 16, 2018 at 7:12

7@hyde: Come on, the discrimination against non-humans in tech is established now beyond any reasonable doubt!– PLLCommented Jul 16, 2018 at 8:23

"Starfleet is not a military organization"? It is most definitely a military organization, particularly with respect to structure and rank. It's just that the Federation is a highly-militarized society at the inter-planetary level, so many functions which are non-military in essence have been taken over by the military.– einpoklumCommented Jul 16, 2018 at 21:44

1@Schwern - Since the US Coast Guard is explicitly part of the Armed Forces, your comparison doesn’t make sense...– Jon CusterCommented Jul 16, 2018 at 22:13

1@Schwern - their web site starts with "The Coast Guard is one of our nation’s five military services." I'll take their word for it.– Jon CusterCommented Jul 16, 2018 at 22:25

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
