First inhumans now androids

I didn't mind him having a gripe against androids/robots, but he seemed to take it too far. We get it! We get it! You think androids will take over the planet. For the 500th time, we get it!
My 2 cents.
If vampires hate "plus signs" - imagine how they feel about the "square root" symbol. -

Nah, I'm sure there were at least two minutes at some point where he
didn't
mention Terminator. Maybe he should have brought it up again, just to be sure.

Mack is the pragmatic voice is the team, who is distrustful and wary of anything unnatural.
It's why Coulson put Mack in charge of alien artifacts and other weirdness, because he's far less likely to try to use any of the stuff, and will make sure no one else does either.
He's the sound reasoning behind the team. He's always going to be the one who's distrustful of something new, especially if it's not following the normal natural route.
I'm glad to see he's find someone, like Yo-yo, who sees things similarly. -

Actually it is.
Say there's a magic alien box with a button and that people tell you if you push it, gives wondrous gifts. Most people are eventually going want to push it, even without solid proof that it's safe. They'll say, well, we'll never know if we don't try it.
Mack's going to say, no way, and make it's locked away safely, till it can be verified, and even then, he's going to be wary of it.
Sound and pragmatic. -

nope, sound and pragmatic is to do x-ray scans, heat scans and well, actually if you live in a world with actual magic like the marvel universe, rely on that magic to do magical scans, which might be done via magical items or by recruiting a magic using being who has earnt your trust. he is just bigoted and the only reason he did not want to kill Daisy was because he knew her before she became an inhuman and that has prevented him from being bigoted against inhumans.

Nope, sound and pragmatic is a voice of caution and concern and wariness when others are jumping to try something when they haven't considered possible bad outcomes.
Bigoted is what Yo-yo's friends and Senator Nadeer are.
Not Mack.
But I understand that you feel different.
We'll have to agree to disagree. -

which of Yo-Yo's friends? ah, from tht scene in the party. He is more than merely cautious, concerned and wary, he is outright adverse. Pragmatic implies putting things to use for the benefit they cause and only inasmuch they cause benefit, it aint pragmatic to deny every attempt at something new. If he considered possibly bad outcomes you might say he is being sound, but he goes directly to a single bad outcome and only 'cause the movies say so. FICTIONAL MOVIES. FICTIONAL TO THEM (Not just to us). If he used actual studies and registers it would be justified, but he uses other people's nightmares.

This particular episode, yes, he referenced movies.
Most of the time he doesn't. He uses his experience.
Look, it's obvious we don't see the same on this. You think Mack is bigoted. I don't.
And I don't see either of us changing our minds.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.
