And he was cast in part because he was black because they wanted to make a black captain for all the reasons shown in the "Benny" episodes.McAvoy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 09, 2020 3:02 am Well. Let's see. He was cast out of dozens of actors to play the part. In this day and age, do you not think there would have been fans who thought he was cast because he was black? Then think back then, he was the first black person to be in command of a ship or station in Trek. Do you not think there was fans who thought it was because of 'being woke'?
Now, of course all of that is forgotten because he did such a great job in his role and DS9 arguably is the best Trek.
The funniest thing I ever read was people asking, unironically, when Star Trek had gotten so "social justice-y"
