Did Starfleet have affirmative action? Did they limit the number of Vulcan science officers or Tellerite engineers?
Did the Federation have speech laws?
Was Uhura livid when an alien reproduction of Abe Lincoln call her a "charming negress"? Did she NOT say, "In our time we learned not to be afraid of words"?
In star trek voyager episode "living witness" didn't an alien character demonstrate opposition to the moral of the story (getting past racial strife) by angrily saying "EVERYTHING is about race!"?
Amen. I know I need to watch Picard season 3 but the rest is terrible I heard. I was going to give discovery a chance when it was announced but then the cast posted a photo of them taking a knee. Also, I’ve seen Gen z “fans” losing their mind over the charming negress line. The moral of that is over their heads.
I'll interject and float my standard response to PIC season 3. In order to get a show about Picard to work they needed to go back to TNG. It's pandering out the nose. It brings back anyone it can and often in really stupid ways. Ro Laren comes back. Shelby, that blonde female commander who was stationed on the Enterprise D when Picard was assimilated comes back. Even the Enterprise D comes back!
It also continues to rip off the plot of other shows/franchises. Season 1 is literally the plot to Mass Effect 1. Alien device warning about robot space tentacles that want to stop the rise of synths. This time it steals the plot to the start of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica. It's extremely fucking lazy.
It's blatant pandering after the previous two seasons fucked up. Do not accept their attempts to woo you back, they will backhand you again just as soon.
Star Trek has definitely always been progressive, it’s just that “progressive” in ‘66 meant something very different than it means today (e.g. from “let’s judge people as individuals” to “let’s judge people as groups”, ironically {?})
Did they limit the number of Vulcan science officers
Considering there are at least 3 known ships with either complete or majority Vulcan crews it shows there are still very much decision makes along racial lines in the Federation.
Star Trek.
I hate little shits who say it was always woke.

I haven't watched Star Trek since voyager, but damn if they didn't do Picard dirty.
