    Yes absolutely! Well said. Progressive themes shined through in the writing, but on-screen the characters never made a big deal out of it. That’s been very Star Trek since the days of TOS. An episode like “Let that be your Last Battlefield” would have a shoved-down-your-throat antiracist message, but it was a metaphor and not directly about Uhura, who’s race was never discussed.

    Well, except that one time by space Abraham Lincoln.
