it -DOESN'T- seem like an inevitability because what we got across the main series were the exceptions. the nearest shepard-analogue (javik) is by all means as racist as the rest and had no interest in cooperation with the "masheens".

you have utterly no imagination if you cannot imagine how things must be back in the catalyst's time to make it conclude things like it did (crapshoot thinking that might be). aliens must be staid, boring and predictable then. and even up until humanity emerged in the galactic arena aliens were STILL staid, boring and predictable. fact.
