The Other


The Dracs are the blacks (people enslaved by whites - notice the "heroes" in the end are not only white, they are wearing white uniforms) and Zammis (sounds like "jammies") is a stand-in for the Commies. It was no coincidence the two main "alien" characters are played by blacks. The main character represents white, North American society and the other characters represent, well, the "other". The alien spoken language sounds like a combination of Russian and African "clicks". In addition, the main alien is a hermaphrodite, fully encapsulating the threat to 1980's white males - women and gays.
