Your assuming racism has to be intentional. Nothing in this secret assumes that it is. Preference for white characters can totally be subconcious and something a person never even realizes.

I'm not sure I agree with the secret given the differing level of predominance of the two characters, but subconcious racial bias is absolutely a thing.

So this sounds like one can't EVER legitimately criticize a non-white character as a character because it's always racism?

Always?

No. Not every criticism is because of unconscious bias, I'm just saying such bias does exist in response to a comment that implied that it didn't.

+1

Add to that the fact that while iconic and important, uhura was a background character so making her more important and especially important for one of the most iconic guys of the whole star trek franchise will generate polarizing reactions.

hey, my assuming racism is mine and mine alone.
