Without Prejudice.
Interestingly the racial and prejudicial dibursment of roles until Deep Space 9. Maybe its all just a ..coincidence and nothing deliberate at all?


Nichelle Nichols aka Lt Uhuru - Space Secretary.



Levar Burton as Jordi - Blind space Mechanic. Racist undertone: Ironically, the face behind Reading Rainbow plays a role of a character who cant read "without government assistance" (i.e. the visors).


Michael Dorn as Lt. Cmd. Worf - Space security guard. Racist undertone: "Temperamental brown-skin folk make good security guards."

United Federation of Planets overcomes apartheid....


Avery Brooks as Captain Benjamin Sisko - Commands a ship--space station--that ..doesnt really go anywhere. I guess United Federation of Planets overcame apartheid? Racist undertone: "But dont give him a ship that really moves..he might cant handle it cos he's... brown! If Picard wasn't around he might loose the ship!"

And what of the Irish?



O'Brien - Space mechanic.



Scottie - Space mechanic.

his drivers license was probably suspended.
