I was thinking of the episode with the "Combs" and the "Yanks" when I wrote my last post. I remember that one, and how they did it in reference to the "Communists" and the "Yankess," on some planet with similar history, but one that endured an apocalyptic world war between them that destroyed everything and sent them back to the stone age. And now that you mention it, I remember the show with the black and white characters, and how the author used it to show absurdity of prejudice from skin color. No one could tell which was which until half way through the show when the leader of the lefties (or the righties, whichever) said that one race had black on the left side and the other was black on the right.
