Star Trek. Saw a comment somewhere else griping (sigh) about the 31st century ships all looking different from each other. Fair enough, you do you.
But that made me think. If it's the "United Federation of Planets", why are Starfleet ships all using that one basic human design template they've been using for hundeds of years? Can they not afford to paint their ships, even? No Vulcan designed ships in Starfleet? Disparate crews (kind of, a LOT of Tokenism going on) but they're built on Mars, at Starfleet headquarters, in Earth orbit etc. That feels...disproportionate.
true! And it doesn't stop there.
Almost all the admirals and captains we get to see are human; both Starfleet Headquarters and the Academy are on Earth...
it's really just tokenism, as you said. It gets a bit better with discovery, though.
