Apparently some people thought it Wasn't Responsible for RTD to depict the Master (a Barking Mad Meglomaniac (TM)) to be shown as Also A Racist.
Which part of "Martha was brilliant and saved the world" wasn't responsible about it I lost interest in deciphering. Which part of "prepared and sensible" Martha's family were seemed to have been lost in the flood.
Look, fandom, deal:
Martha carried the Word. In her special sense, but RTD like me was, I expect, brought up proper. I can see why that might be uncomfortable as a quasi religious proposition, but for me Martha was more realistic and infinitely more heroic than Rose (Rose did it with Tardis power, Martha did it with her feet and voice).
Martha is wonderful and the race-wank seems to be so missing the point. For - after al - Jack the Uber-WASP doesn't get him either.
