Thread Name: BS: So who will be the new Who?
Subject: RE: BS: So who will be the new Who?
Seems somewhat daft to brand Dr. Who racist for only ever incarnating in white form. He's an *alien humanoid from another planet*. Maybe the people of Gallifrey simply don't have a lot of mellanin pigment? Maybe they never needed mellanin as a defence against sun-light, or maybe they've evolved not to need it? As a side thought, have any of the Doctors had even so much as a suntan? They always seem ubiquitously pale-skinned to me. As for referencing boo-boos from the seventies, give us a break, it was the *seventies* ffs, even crap like The B&W Minstrels were considered family entertainment!
