In reply to the discussion: White genocide in space: Racist fans seethe at diversity in new Star Trek series [View all]calimary
(81,240 posts)56. Michelle Yeoh?
I love Michelle Yeoh! Sounds like a great start - she has the gravitas to be captain! Superb choice of actress! Don't know as much about Sonequa Martin-Green yet but this sounds tremendously exciting!!! Why the hell would we not have a black first officer? Why would we not have a black woman as first officer? It's a signature of the whole Star Trek "thing" for Pete's sake. Diversity. Period. Deal with it!
And we haven't had an Asian captain as a series lead before. So that's pretty neat, too. Came closest when Mr. Sulu was promoted to captain, but only in guest star status.
Can't wait!!!!

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.
