Samuel Delany's 1977 Star Wars review: why is the future so damned white and male?

Oh yeah, maybe. I don’t recall seeing that but it would have been written about. Maybe also the story about frakes being chosen for riker because they thought women would then tune in for a bit of that old sex appeal, not expecting picard would be held up as the sex symbol. Because of course the show was helmed mostly by men so it’s both patronising and clueless about what women viewers want.
