1)Trek has provided visibility for marginalized peoples for over 50yrs wtf are you even talking about. There are dozens of eps and a whole film denouncing racism.
2)The Federation actively preserves the sovereignty of other cultures. That was Picard's WHOLE thing
3)Kim. Sulu. OWOSEKUN. Freeman. Torres. Sato. All surnames of officers who were POC.
4)That "secretary" is actually an accomplished bridge officer, who's appearance on prime time TV showed Black women that we make it to the future, inspring millions of people to demand the same.
5) Her name, Nyota Uhura, literally means 'Freedom Star' in Swahili. (See point no. 3)
6) If you have difficulty comprehending the ground-breaking legacy of Trek, just say that. Don't tweet this ignorant filth.
