Line 100:
* The Minbari of ''[[Babylon 5]]'' like to see themselves as [[Our Elves Are Different|High Elves or Grey Elves]]. However when they think no one else is looking, they are not only highly arrogant and racist, but also extremely violent and brutal and start a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] for almost any offense. And their supposedly sacred rule of [[Ape Shall Never Kill Ape|Minbari Shall Never Kill Minbari]] gets ignored all the time. Think of Klingons that look like Vulcans.
** They are ''slightly'' better than that. They did manage to keep the No Killing-rule in effect for a thousand years, after all. Their claim about never lying is a total bull, though. But excluding the Soldier Caste they aren't too bad if the condescending attitude isn't a problem.
***The Minbari go down a bit easier for the viewers because the ones we see most are Deleen and Lenier who, while obsessed enough with tradition to make Maimondes think they are going a bit to far about it, are personable, cultured, and polite to everyone. Nor do they act as if they think a Minbari is automatically better then someone from another species.
* [[Star Trek|Spock and his Vulcan ilk]] are scholarly, long-lived, [[Pointy Ears|pointy-eared]], [[Four Humour Ensemble|phlegmatic]], and psychic.
** Vulcans are also vegetarian, and consider their way of life superior to humans'. There are already Vulcan examples in [[Can't Argue with Elves]]... because you can't.
