Brings up something I've agonized over for many years regarding race.
If I have an aversion to a certain race, and just automatically make
assumptions - always negative - about a person of a certain race,
without even really knowing that person, am I a racist?
This has occurred many times with me, without exception with this
race, and I can't seem to overcome my deep-seated feeling of
revulsion.

Absolutely no issues with Vulcans, except wishing they not touch me,

worrisome nonetheless.
Any suggestions? Suggestions that would be welcome, of course.

Lieutenant Commander Worf probably is the most "familiar" Klingon. He's
played by Michael Dorn, a black actor. Does that explain your revulsion?

Didn't know that. I left with Bill Shatner.
But he got the tribbles.
