I gave up on Trek in the 80s. They were going PC even then w/ the black Klingons ("They had him saying things no real Klingon would ever say!" - - Rev Jim)

A 1968 episode of Star Trek, "Plato's Stepchildren",[2][13] which first aired on November 22, 1968, is often referred to as the first interracial kiss on American television. This claim is disputed by some who contend that in the scene in question, full lip contact between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols did not occur, as the actors turned their heads away from the camera at the last moment to present the illusion of a kiss, meaning that this scene was not a true kiss.[14] The latter point has been disputed, with Shatner claiming that he and Nichols' lips never fully touched and Nichols asserting that the kiss was real.[15]
