TOS had the first interracial kiss between a white person and a black person on U.S. TV. It also shows a socialist utopia where men and women of all races are equal, indigenous cultures are respected, and they try to talk out a hostile situation before they resort to firing their weapons whenever they can.

Fox News should absolutely loathe that.

TNG basically had Riker fuck an alien trans woman in 1992.

Any trekkie who complains about Trek being too woke, is either a moron, or not an actual fan.

I will be forever disappointed that the higher-ups refused to have that alien played by a male actor. I am glad if it helps trans people feel noticed and respected though.

Seem to remember Frakes being dissapointed with that too. Wanted a male actor.

Yes, he's talked about that before.
