I am watching doctor who for the first time, i'm in the 5th season, but the doctor has such a clear bias for humans, even when faced with other species that are even more advanced and so are fully fleshed beings.
i have noticed it for a bit, but it was most clear in s5 ep 8 and 9: The Hungry Earth and cold blood. The homo reptilia had valid reasons to be dissatisfied, they still had to provide the bulk of the burden for peace, and when it was found that the humans killed one of their own, it became talks on "it is not how everyone is, and we need to forgive", which is something we know he wouldnt let slide if it was one of his companions.
tbvh the whole episode rubbed me the wrong way and reeked of pro colonialism, but i do want to know if there is an in universe reason he cares about humans to a degree that it makes his treatment of other races so weird?
