Saavik's views on Romulan society are conditioned by having grown up among the lowest social stratum on a particularly harsh colony planet and then by an apparently fairly bigoted Vulcan-worshipping education. While there may be a certain class of Romulans who like to rape or to degrade Vulcans, there is no evidence that all Romulans care to act in this way. Some USA soldiers behaved quite badly in Vietnam, but very few claim that USA society is sick or sadistic because of such aberrant behavior. An interesting future story might have Saavik actually interacting with Romulans. -- Yehoyaqim Shemtob Martillo (An Equal Opportunity Offender)
