In reply to the discussion: White genocide in space: Racist fans seethe at diversity in new Star Trek series [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,406 posts)37. Anybody who is a Star Trek fan
and is upset about the diversity on the show obviously missed the point a long time ago. In just about every incarnation of Trek, there's been one push after another forward in terms of promoting diversity. The original Star Trek had an African-American woman (and the first interracial kiss), an Asian, and a Russian character. Star Trek Deep Space Nine featured an African-American commander/captain and Star Trek Voyager featured a female captain and the last Star Trek movie re-wrote Sulu to be gay.
