it wasn't that radical. 90% of the cast was white.
and they had a magic negro which is considered pretty racist
but the fact is they were able to have a more diverse cast without moral grandstanding, and that's why people didn't mind it
remove the moral grandstanding and people don't care about the skin color of the cast. except for racist woketards like you.

Listen to last names, too! They had Hispanic crewmembers. And a Russian crewmember on the bridge during the Cold War is very radical, too. Also, Asian actors.
Gene had to fight for a diverse cast. I don't believe they wanted a black man on the Bridge, so Gene insisted on a black woman.
MORAL GRANDSTANDING:
"Let This Be Your Last Battlefield" episode:

it's not woke. it doesn't preach morals. in fact there's a never ending supply of moral grey areas in old star trek and that's what makes any good sci-fi worth watching.
woke doesn't do grey areas. woketards have decided what is morally allowed and anything else is unforgiveable.

no it doesn't. at no point do they preach morals to the viewer. they describe a situation where you might assume racism has caused a major conflict, but they don't explicitly say that. the enterprise does not make a judgement and doesn't assume either is morally correct or not correct. that decision is left up to the viewer.

where was it explained?
so far the only statement they made was "Let This Be Your Last Battlefield proves you're wrong."
saying something doesn't make it true. an explanation is required. logic must be applied. an argument must be formed.
since I'm the only one that has been able to explain why it's not woke, then I am the only one who has made a credibly claim.

I personally say if it's not on the Enterprise (Whichever version) it's not for me
That said, DS9 was a good show and encompassed the ideals of Trek with a more sustained leaning into politics. Rather than going boldly it let things come to it. A nice pivot. Voyager was crap and there's no telling me otherwise -

I never watched all of the Trek episodes after TNG. I read Trekonimics and Star Trek Ethics books which have me a new appreciation about what each series was trying to accomplish and what the characters' motivations were. I plan to watch Discovery, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise to see what I missed.
Whew! I'm going to be busy. -

I didn't like season one of STD but I also remembering not liking season 1 of TNG and so stuck it out. By the end of season 2 it is very clear that the writers had backed themselves into a corner and were going to have to try and retcon everything they had done.
So while season 3 onwards might be the best show there is, it was a house built on sand and sadly I already know what happens to houses like that -

This new series feels like a Gene series. And I'm willing to watch past Trek series and episodes to understand the messaging better.
Yeah, this show feels so incredibly "Star Trek". It's wearing it's love of the franchise and it's legacy on it's sleeve. I think Tawney Newsome (who loves Star Trek) being in the writer's room doesn't hurt
You're from the future?Well that's brilliant!Do they still have sandwiches there?
