the-she-hulk-smash:shadesoffantasy:hugatreeortwo:… You know, and Asian people and all kind of folks you know, there was no problem with Russians you know, it’s very important that the future be hopeful and that’s what this is.”Whoopi Goldberg on Star Trek The Original Series and on why she asked to be in Star Trek: The Next Generation.I did sciences because of Geordi (hence my avatar). Representation is IMPORTANT!Star Trek’s representation of POC is a huge reason why the program was required watching for my dad and his brothers when they were growing up. My lolo and lola were 1st generation Fil-Am, forced to change their names to make them easier for Western tongues to understand, and immigrated to Florida when segregation was still in effect. It was important for them to show their children a racially diverse world where intelligence and courage were valued above skin color. There are a lot of people who underestimate how important representation can be to people, not just kids. -- source link
