  • It always was with every actor in Trek.

    You know Nimoy's book "I Am Spock"? Well in Heroes, Quinto (new Spock) played Sylar, and Heroes had an episode called "I Am Sylar".

    The actors don't choose Star Trek, Star Trek chooses it's actors.

  • Well said! I like Star Trek, but I wouldn't say I'm a Trekkie. However my cousin is a Trekkie and she's completely normal.

    Can we try not to stereotype? That would be awesome.

  • @plotchickens Zoes father is a black domnican so i think its fine shes playing a black women. Zoe mostly plays black women anyway

  • @plotchickens I implied that in what I just said.. good rebuttal there

  • uhura actually is from Africa!

  • @plotchickens It's not Uhura's fault that they cast a Korean for Sulu. Besides, the original actor for Sulu gave John Cho his approval, saying that Sulu was to represent all Asians. And last time I checked, the terms "Korean" and "Japanese" represent nationalities, not races. I don't see you getting upset that Zoe's a Latina, when she's representing Africa. Not even Nichelle Nichols was from Africa. They're called actors for a reason. Get your facts straight.

  • the original Sulu wasn't korean he was japanese, but of course you'll probably just say 'what's the difference' like a true racist who thinks all asians are identical.

    if you can change one race, why not change another? there's no reason Uhura can't be white.

  • @plotchickens the original Uhura was black you racist idiot

  • @plotchickens yea, but there woman are fat and have mustaches. so i will pass, thank you.

  • @plotchickens They didn't mention that he was korean in the plot. His character is still Japanese. I'm from Dublin... that's just like me playing someone from continental Europe or the UK - not much of a difference in terms of facial features.

  • lol their hookers are pretty eager to please too

  • @plotchickens oh i don't know if i would call them lazy, hell i could hire 12 of them for 6 dollars to cut my lawn shingle my roof and paint my house all in one day.
