[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Free ThoughtCrime America: [qb] It's an American show. What do you expect? Even if they *had* a greater diversity on there, they would still be speaking with American/English accents on the show. So what's the problem, their lack of diverse names? It irritates me that people so easily accept obvious fantasy like the gravity generators or inertial dampeners or whatever BS they come up with to explain the Enterprise set not moving around as they zip around, and not the obvious fantasy of an all American crew. Especially when both are part of making a show in a California warehouse meant to get ratings and ad money from American audiences. [/qb][/QUOTE]Except, y'know, Star Trek in general doesn't do this. TOS: One African. One Russian, with accent. If we push for Kyle, one Englishman (with accent). One Scot (with accent) And Shatner has a Canadian accent too. TNG: One Frenchman (with blatently English accent). And Troi had an English accent too (although it's not her real accent). DS9: One Indian-Brit with English accent and proper cockney dad. One Irishman who said "bollocks". VOY: One Native American. This is obviously ignoring African Americans, and Asian-Americans (although I can't actually remember where Kim was born at the moment). So, not an everwhelming number of non-yanks, but still more than Enterprise has managed (if Hoshi does turn out to be American). [/QB][/QUOTE]
