Throughout most of " Dot and Bubble , " Lindy come across as a naive and privileged influencer , but a character who ’s ultimately harmless . However , the episode ’s end all but externally proves that Lindy harbors prejudice toward the Doctor because of the color of his skin - despite the fact he point her to base hit and offered to save the lives of her and her friends .

Abrogation is when a law , act , or rightfulness is repeal , and soFinetime clearly underwent a huge variety in at least one of its laws . One possible hypothesis is that this annulment is related to some sort of adequate rights act being repealed , make believe it so the community either remained as or reverted to a community of Caucasic - only occupant . This would explain why access to the city was restricted , and if the event was banished to the history Word as implied by Ricky September , it also offers an explanation for the generational , inherit racism of theDoctor Whosetting .
