   Yes @peregrine57, I am always amused when people ask when #StarTrek went #woke, seemingly unaware the 1965 pilot featured female first officer #NumberOne in command while rescuing her captain. This swiftly followed by an Asian #astrophysicist and navigator in #Sulu, a professional Black woman in #Uhura who is not only #multilingual but both a capable #electronics technician and #starship #pilot, and Black #physician #MBenga who is well versed in multispecies #medicine. #IDIC #diversity
