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.

Lacking context it’s enterily possible it was something else. uhura had “weak moments” too. While there were strong progressive white women also i.e. Nurse Christine Chapel. What’s the context was she one of the many people the enterprise was charged with rescueing? A Potential romantic interest for Kirk? We tend to find what were looking for and miss that wich does not conform to our agenda.
