(One of the more idiotic and stupid intrusions of political correctness
into the world of entertainment. Almost on the level of stupidity with
the STAR TREK fans who insisted that the dark-skinned Vulcans like Tuvok
were African-Americans.)

 
Strange - I thought at least as early as ST:TNG if not earlier was the
premise that Klingons were supposed to ensure lots of employment for
black actors.

Michael Dorn claims that the turtlehead Klingons were so they could hire
black actors without anybody knowing which is just ridiculous given that
the turtlehead Klingons pre-date TNG by almost a decade and were originally
mostly white actors.
