“If we had changed the people’s clothes, this story could be about right now. What’s insidious about racism is that it is unconscious. Even among these very bright and enlightened characters, a group that includes a woman writer who has to use a man’s name to get her work published, and who is married to a brown man with a British accent in 1953…It’s in the culture, it’s the way people think. I never talked about racism. I just showed how these intelligent people think, and it all came out of them.” - Avery Brooks, on the DS9 episode “Far Beyond the Stars ”
