Both positions are ridiculously stupid, although I tip it to the latter. The former is (unfortunately) normal, expected racism that comes everytime a woman/poc is cast - the latter is fun, new idiocy - especially when the Captain is a Chinese-Malaysian woman in her 50's and the series descriptions so far are that we are watching the main character as she rises through the ranks.
I've seen some of that as well. Only in groups that I dont know anyone, thankfully.
Three white people out of seven. One of them non-straight. None of them with seniority. It's the tumblr logic of being offended at everything spilling slowly and stupidly everywhere else in a weird attempt to complain for the sake of complaining.
Just once it'd be nice to log on and hear someone be positive about something.
