The statements “Star Trek has a long history of promoting progressive ideas such as anti-racism and gender equality” and “What was progressive in the 60s, 80s, and 90s is no longer progressive by today’s standards so Star Trek has to change and grow in order to further the fight for true equality” are not mutually exclusive. Thank you and good night.
And both are not mutually exclusive with the statement “Star Trek’s progressive vision of the future is one that was born out of a culture of American cultural imperialism and so has some features of that cultural imperialism that should be interrogated”
