In reply to the discussion: White genocide in space: Racist fans seethe at diversity in new Star Trek series [View all]JoeStuckInOH
(544 posts)45. I was really starting to dig Chris Pine as "James Kirk", too. :(
He has quite the swagger and bravado William Shattner originally portrayed.
IMO, every other Star Trek captain doesn't measure up. It always felt to me like Patrick Stewart was a history teacher out of league, Avery Brooks was some sort of outer space camp counselor, and Kate Mulgrew was some kind of helicopter parent to the ship's crew. Although she kind of looked like my own mother... so the parent vibe might just be my own fabrication.
Hope Michelle Yeoh can deliver the goods.

OP
If they are racist, then they are unlikely to have ever gotten the point of what Star Trek is about,

An entire point of Star Trek from the very beginning, has been diversity.
