I remember that well. I think it was still in the AOL days. When they
cast Tim Ross,  somebody said there weren’t any black skinned Vulcans
and this woman who was hysterical at the Claude Reimer level started
screaming OF COURSE THERE ARE AFRCAN AMERICAN VULCANS AND NATIVE AMERICAN
VULCANS AND CHINESE AMERICAN VULCANS!!!
 
sigh

 
I also remember someone Zabruder'd all the Star Trek movies and shows,
found an extra waaaay in the background who was black, and then cited
that as "proof" of "black vulcans".

It wasn't the insistence on black Vulcans that was the problem. It was the
claim that they were African-American, when they're from *a whole other
planet*, for cripes sake, where there is no Africa or America.
