Just started watching Season 4 and noticed lack of white straight male characters (in a meaningful bridge crew role). Now, these migh pop-up later on (as I said, I just started watching the season) so apologies in advance if actually a mute point.
Now, I'm all for diversity and have been a Trek fan since childhood and I fully support having people of diverse backgrounds, sexual orientations etc. I have a feeling though that this woke-diversity thing went a whee bit too far at the expense of the above referenced population/type.
I now this is a sensitive subject and it's kinda hard to go about it without offending someone, but it's really too apearent to be just completely ignored.
Just as it was wrong to (in the past) ignore and underrepresent minorities in tv shows, we shouldn't be ok with pushing the majority population to the margins to make room for other people. Diversity, in my view, should reflect the actual percentage of groups in the society. It shouldn't be about revenge or "getting even" at the majority as it would kind of make it a reverse racism of sorts, wouldn't it?
What do you guys think?
