I never said I doubted Roddenberry’s intentions. I don’t particularly doubt the modern team’s, either, though.

Representation that cares about the issues tends to be more honest and true than the tokenism and hand-puppet waving that more typically come from targeting a consumer audience.

That sounds fair to say in general, but it’s not very specific. Which characters in modern Trek would you say are token minorities?
