        Yes, and MLK asked @NichelleIsUhura not to quit b/c she was a role model. Show raised eyebrows w/the first interracial kiss in TV history.

        The "first interracial kiss" is a bit of conflated history. ST actually considered an interracial romance in first season and it was nixed.

        Petula Clark and Harry Belafonte duet on NBC was a far bigger scandal in '68. BBC had TV's first interracial kiss btw.

        Trekkies have to endure a lot of diffidence, even ridicule; I find them to be exceedingly kind people--we need more kindness in this world.

        I loved Star Trek TOS when I was growing up and loved the different accents and cultures, I did not see it as weird. Some people do.
