I was actually never under the impression that they were supposed to be analogies - I though the novel was understood to literally take place within a Catholic framework, as are the Narnia books.

That's why he framed John to attack the US as well. How is Dr. Manhattan not an "otherworldly threat?"

Still super special for being the first.

300%. I was agreeing - it used to be thought that Archaeopteryx was super special and the first bird but, lo, the reality is that everyone looked like good ol' Archy.

The experiment above was done primarily to explore how the weight of a tail changes a bird's gait.

Archaeopteryx turned out to be kind of just a regular theropod, yeah?

Which could account for all the weird redundancy on this list - local governors are doing whatever they want with their stormtroopers without worrying about a centralized authority handing out trooper classifications.

I also have to imagine that there's a tremendous amount of overlap. Like, I always figured that there's no reason a "snowtrooper's" next assignment couldn't be a desert world, it's just he got some training and some kit when he was posted on Ilum or something. Also a lot of these could just be colloquial or…

There are a number of cyborgs and droids that figure this out, and a few other groups - the Morgukai, the Echani, and the Imperial Royal Guards - that seem to be able to mix it up with a Jedi without enhancements. Which is also assuming they don't have enhancements.

Of course not, but the dominant culture stopped excluding them from the dominance club - this process of "becoming white" is obviously not what's going to happen for these scientists.

How is this applicable to the article?

Polish people *did* become the dominant culture. People stopped differentiating them from other white people.

Is janitorial work endemic to various peoples of color's culture?

What do you propose, then?

Your premise is odd, here, because only one of these groups really has widespread systemic power and opportunity to make the changes you're referring to. And, in fact, many stereotypes exist precisely *because* of this power dynamic.

I think there's still no consensus on which dinos had them, how they manifested, and what they looked like. All the images I've seen have had vastly different ideas on how they'd look, sometimes quite extreme; there's a very real chance they could look completely ridiculous.

I guess my point is just that we already have a word for killing someone without asking if they want to die.

Well none of these lands or peoples exist, so I don't think so.

Hey, I didn't love Jurassic Park III either, but the raptors were awesome in it. (They were also better designed than these ones...)
