In Independence Day, we win the day by suicide bombing the alien ship.

In Independence Day 2, we win the day by suicide bombing the queen's ship, then a coalition of alien planets put us in charge to teach them our suicide bombing ways. Roland Emmerich is pretty awesome.

In Spaceballs, when Lonestar asks Barf to give him a reading, Barf starts reciting the Lord's Prayer which implies either

a. Barf's people adopted Christianity on their own or

b. Space Crusades brought Christianity to his people by the sword.

When scifi wants to show how progressive it is it'll have a variety of ethnic minorities accepted by the white majority, but the assumption that most people are white in some faraway galactic space future doesn't really make any particular sense

I always thought Klingons were WW2 era Japanese people

I thought they were the Germans. Poor people who were taught to fight.

how does this describe WWII Germany and Japan in any way, except at the end of the war, but in that case it describes any country losing a war

WWII Germany had super inflation, and Japan still had cities made out of wood. They both had a big problem when firebombing happened. England did too.

Oh I thought you meant like their military was made up of people of low social standing, which I don't think was true any more than it is for a typical military

of course not. Germany just had more angry grunts
