Star Trek Fan Forced to Surrender ‘ASIMIL8’ License Plate for Being Offensive

Loading

Resistance to political correctness is futile:

A Star Trek fan in Canada has been forced to turn over his personalized license plate after people complained its message, ASIMIL8, was insulting to indigenous people.

Manitoba Public Insurance revoked Nick Troller’s personalized license plate that read ASIMIL8, a nod to the Borg in Star Trek. According to a report in the Toronto Star, Troller had been driving around with it for two years, and it was accompanied by a license frame that said “We Are the Borg” and “Resistance is Futile.” Troller said fellow fans liked his license plate and asked to take pictures with it, and complained that critics were being too sensitive about the issue.

Yeah, but anything that can be construed to offend someone somewhere in some possible way can be banned.

Except insulting Christians and conservatives.
