main character is black person
secondary character is strong independent white woman
only good white guy in film is from original cast
every villain is a white male
I wouldn't care if it wasn't for the fact that J.J. Abrams stated the main character WAS going to be black before he even started casting.
"you look around that room and you see the whitest loving room in the history of time. Its just unbelievably white. And I just thought, we’re casting this show and we have an opportunity to do anything we want, why not cast the show with actors of color?"
That means any white person who walked into the casting room looking for the main role was instantly thrown out. When you start trying to become racially diverse, you can accidentally become tribal.
