I was a kid of the 1960’s and me and my brother watched ST every week. We loved the summer reruns too. But when I rewatched all of the seasons a year ago, I noticed something about JTK/Shatner, he seemed a bit racist. It was very subtle and not sure if the fault lied with the writers or Shatner himself or the director. In one scene Uhura falls down and he walks right past her and doesn’t help her up. Then in another episode a white female stumbles and he helps her up. As I said it was very subtle and as a kid I didn’t notice it. But we’re now seeing in all spinoffs that racism/discrimination is being handled and addressed. Yup, both still happening in 23rd century.

Is it also possible to conclude that the white woman was being portrayed as weak therefore needing assistance, while there was an attempt to make the black woman appear strong and not needing help?
