I agree, if people want to get picky about it being P.C, you could say the same thing about the old series as well.
Athena and Sheba were both viper pilots in the original.
I'm sure some thought that was "racey" back in the day.

It was, and in fact there is an episode where all the male pilots came down ill and it was up to the female pilots to defend Galactica and the fleet. That was a overt gender breaking all the way back in the disco days.
