Another hint that the changes weren't due to a "PC" motive is the fact that there are no significant black roles in the new BG, despite the fact that there were at least three in the old one. That's not something that "PC" writers would do.

Wasn't the 2nd in command of the original BSG a black guy? Where as the people in charge now seem to be all old white men. Even Edward James Olmos doesn't appear to be playing a hispanic character (His son is also lilly white also) The only blacks I've seen was the one who swore in the president and one that does nothing but hand the captain messages.

Yes. Good character, too. Reminds me of every good executive officer I've served under.

I'm not surprised. God knows what the hell happens to all Hispanics in the future, but I want to know what it is!

Seriously. I'm a total dork by the definitions given here (and Hispanic as well). I've watched virtually all sci-fi out there. And blacks have absolutely nothing to complain about in terms of their "place in the future". They are quite well represented. Apparently my family and everyone from every Spanish country is sure to completely die out between now and the 22nd century.

I haven't seen a single significant Spanish character in TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Babylon 5, Andromeda or -any- other future history. Now we don't exist in Battlestar Galactica either, even when the Captain is played by someone hispanic.

WHAT HAPPENS TO US IN THE FUTURE? I want to know! Would they not allow us to board the Enterprise because they thought we'd steal the hubcaps or something?
