[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] Well, as to Star Trek being progressive on social issues, as the book Inside Star Trek discusses, the multi-ethnic cast wasn't just Gene's idea (alebit he later took credit for it), NBC was encouraging it. A 1966 memo from NBC V.P. Mort Werner is reprinted where he specifically requests non-white cast members. So it wasn't just Star Trek being progressive, it was Star Trek reflecting a progressive trend being promoted by the network. Notable is the passage "Our efforts in the past to assure the fact that the programs broadcast on our facilities are a natural reflection of the role of minorities in American life have met with substantial success." That was 1966, and Star Trek was on the leading edge of TV programming in at least that regard, or at the very least contemporary with other shows at the time. Not any more! [/QB][/QUOTE]
