It explains that interracial relationships, especially ones where a black woman gets some love, are still rare. Positive portrayals of black women are rare, but even rarer too when she's deemed 'worthy' of love.
I've shipped S/U since TOS and I was pleased as punch that it was finally able to happen here. I understand the value of a woman not always being the love interest (hence part of my love for Joan Watson) but S/U is a clear sign of progress in its own way too. Hell, there were only two reasons Uhura was allowed to be shown kissing anyone in TOS:
1. It was an 'aliens made them do it' kiss, not consensual.
2. Shatner and the cameraman intentionally fucked up all the non-kiss takes of the scene to force the execs to take one with the kiss.
Uhura is allowed to be a desirable woman now. She's allowed to be part of a consensual romance now. That's progress too.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-25 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)Why is romantic (read: sexual) love the only kind of love that seems to count when it comes to women? Why isn't it good enough that she's a respected officer with very close friendships among the crew to make her desirable? Why does she have to be sexualized in order to be "worthy" to you?
