I once read a review of Aliens which postulated that it was all a racist metaphor for black and white motherhood.

The black alien queen is a parasite who constantly churns out hundreds of fatherless savage children which choke up the environment.

Ripley, the white mother figure throws all of her energy behind one adopted resourceful child and cleans up the neighbourhood after entering into a nuclear family unit with Hicks.

Utter balls.

That has to be the dumbest thing ever.

Ever.
