You are not logical, you are racist. I guess you did not read Nemesis either? Several characters were described as asian, white or brown.
What is your evidence for "not a lot of black people reading SF in the 1940s and 50s"?
I understand that you are trying to make hay out of being a victim here. Do you get dental with that?
How is it that you seem to be completely unaware of black writers in the USA?
Because in other Asimov books I've read, if skin color helped drive the plot, then it was mentioned. As far as I know, if Asimov did not make his character's skin color an issue, then it was left up to the reader.
The problem is that YOU have assigned a certain physical characteristic to various people in a book that you did not write and are upset if anyone else does not see these people in the same way you do.
Then show me an example of of 1990's American police officers who kill suspects with a shotgun while sitting unarmed in a vehicle when being arrested for a non-violent crime. You won't do so because you're just making stuff up.
Is this how you want the police to treat you? Until Floyd got out of his vehicle, he was not actively resisting arrest. You really want the police to talk with their shotgun to you if you're accused of passing fake money?
How would you go about proving a person was "worthless piece of shit" prior to blowing them away? Is that the defense you would use if you were placed on trial?
I don't believe you. Can you show me where the police shot a hand cuffed suspect back in the early 1990's with a shotgun for resisting arrest after he was cuffed?
The police, whether or not they are pussies, are not above the law.
There is no way for a nuclear reactor of that type to undergo the same kind of nuclear explosion as a bomb. The fuel density is far too low. It is possible that the crew could bring it prompt-critical. This is a condition in which the control rods are withdrawn as fast as possible (still rather slow) while the reactor is cooled down . The power will eventually rise so fast that the coolant will vaporize and cause a steam explosion. This would shut down the reactor immediately, but no nuclear explosion.
Lots of fissionable material and fission products would be released, but as long as the sub was submerged, the radioactive particles would not go airborne. An explosion would be heard by other ships equipped with sonar and by any underwater sonar array, but they would know it was not a nuclear bomb being detonated.
When a person is handcuffed and unresponsive on the ground, the police are not allowed to kill them no matter how bad you think the perp is.
It was not his job to kill a handcuffed person. Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's back even after another officer could not find a pulse. I guess he wanted to ensure Floyd was dead at the scene.
Chauvin took a handcuffed person, put him on the ground, then kneeled on his back. He kept kneeling on the guy for several minutes after another officer could not get a pulse. Everything that happened was according to what Chauvin wanted. Instead of tossing Floyd into the back seat, he purposefully killed him, on camera.
How was Chauvin railroaded into killing Floyd? Starring in a snuff video is usually something that is very hard to defend.

Or, he never showed up to work in the last four years. :)
The plane hit the ground next to the Pentagon and crashed into it. How is this hard? That is one huge building. Ever heard of the sharpshooter fallacy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy
I said that white skin was not the default skin color of characters in a book. This does not make me a racist of any kind. You are just trying to cloud the issue.
I know that film producers will change the race or gender of a character at times according to their wishes. This does not mean that the default skin color of a character in a book is white.
What is your best example of Hollywood blackwashing a positive character while keeping negative characters white males?
No, I just need to not be a racist.
I've sense enough to write what I mean and mean what I write. That is a common enough virtue that should be shared by everyone who posts here. That is one of the things you lack.
I'm actually part of one of the most privileged demographics in the USA; white middle aged male. I vote based on the issues, one of them being the RKBA.
I think Trump is a commie, gun-grabbing, SOB who did not deserve the GOP nomination in 2020. Trump's punk-ass lost the popular vote to Clinton and Biden. That spells L-O-S-E-R!!!
I'm just not a racist, sexist SOB. :) But I can understand how this last part can disappoint a person like you.
I have no reason to believe that Asimov assigned any of his characters a certain race in the Foundation novels.
In his novel Nemesis, race was a significant part of the plot, so various characters were described as being one race or another.
When I read the series I was not assigning skin color to any character. I don't have a default skin color for characters in a book that does not describe them in any manner that would lead one to make any assumption like that.
Did you read Starship Troopers? What color did you assign to Juan Rico?
Seeing all American adults registering for the draft would make me happy. That said, I would prefer to serve with volunteers instead of draftees.
He didn't. Trump did manage to alienate some of his military by saying he didn't like POW's just to take a stab as McCain.
He was doing what his dead wife wanted when he gave to the church.
