Star Trek takes PC to new extremes, even for Hollywood

[Text Drivers are Killers]

I'm so sick of seeing black scientists and female commanders in movies when in real life such creatures are almost non-existent.

jan 17 2018 Those of you (most of you) who haven't been watching the new Star Trek series, Star Trek Discovery, are missing out on a entirely new level of political correctness. The show features a black female protagonist named Michael; her boyfriend, a Klingon disguised as a Muslim-Arab security officer; an obese female cadet who is a genius in all areas of science; and a gay couple, one of whom is black and possibly also hispanic.

But that isn't enough for SJWs. They actually worry that the black gay character, who is also hispanic, is not visibly hispanic.

Black people and women are scary.

I heard that next season, the crew is going to include a gay, black, Kenyan-Marxist--Muslim hermaphrodite

Nah, he's just an attention whore.
I cut the cable over a year ago, so I haven't watched the new series. But what pisses me off is how they totally remade the appearance of the Klingons. They look ridiculous.

If there is a dearth of black scientists, why is it a bad thing to feature them in popular culture? Perhaps it will encourage more young black students to get into the field. The fact that the proportion of black scientists is lower than, say white or Asian scientists is a reflection of the choices people make. It's not anything intrinsic about white vs black vs Asian. Ever hear of Neil deGrasse Tyson?

Actually didn’t Sulu come out in one of the movies, so Sulu is gay.

Evidently he did, I stand corrected. George Takei apparently was not pleased.
