Why? talk:Do redshirts always die?
Inspiration[edit]
DWWH, I went to Redshirt effect and made more-or-less the same edits you made (at the same time). I abandoned my work (I would have removed the table header too). I don't like the way it repeats "(who are usually poor and black)" etc., as (1) this is advocacy (imputing motives to policymakers), and (2) it's repeated so often as to beat it into the reader's head; but it was Featured. Otherwise, an essay about how national leaders view people as expendable would be funnier than an essay on how Bush was a racist. Spıke 🎙️19:26 11-Nov-21
- Regarding Redshirt effect, it passed 12-3, but with extended criticism made into a very long forum entitled "Left Lean". Then-current events of 2005 haven't aged well. Redshirt effect could use updating as /rewrite, or archiving as /original. Or something.
- I expected something less dark from the page. Levity, like Murphy's law application for antigravitatory cats. Rather than taking the existing article in a non-political direction, I think Trekkies would appreciate a fake etiology at Why?:Do redshirts always die?. Could be fun.

Sigh! a discussion of politics, four years before I was here to jump into it! Perhaps some day, even battling-bookend oldsters Trump and Biden will be no more than an oddity to the new Uncyclopedia reader. Bush was a bumbler, with a full complement of courtiers to explain away the human losses, but "racism" is leftie name-calling, most famously by Kanye West (before he became a Trumpster?) saying he "doesn't care about people like us" (which gave rise to our throwaway Category:Things George Bush doesn't care about and its knock-offs). Your suggestion in the Why: space hasn't been featured yet. I'll start things out. Spıke 🎙️11:54 12-Nov-21
