• Steven Moffat on Dr Who continuity
  "A television series which embraces both the ideas of parallel universe and the concept of changing time can't have a continuity error. "It's impossible for Doctor Who to get it wrong because we can just say 'he changed time, it's a time warp'."

Bigotry thoughts

Active prejudice: When people of one type are caricatured and made to look bad.
Passive prejudice: When there are no good examples of one type of person depicted, and all of the protagonists/role models are of the/an other type.

Most people can spot active bigotry, a lot of people seem to have a blind spot for the latter.

(Inspired by discussion here on whether Dark Knight was sexist or not.)
