I think this is a very important constant in Kirk\u2019s character: He does not tolerate prejudice or bigotry. And in the 60\u2019s, to have a white lead male, the captain of a great ship in a sort of \u201cnavy,\u201d to have him saying that prejudice will not be tolerated, is a pretty incredible thing. He supports women and people of color and people of all ethnicities. This was during the Cold War, and yet we have a Russian man and a Japanese men as significant, regular characters. We have a Black woman on the bridge. Kirk supports all his crew, no matter their gender or race or ethnicity (or sexuality, we can assume). And that is amazing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>spaceyunicorns: portraitofemmy: No, but the thing is\u2026 this is in defense of Spock.
