The Robert Beltran comments would be hilarious if they weren't so, what's the word? Oh yeah. Whitewashing.

It still blows my mind that the Native American consultant on Voyager was a fake. Beltran should have seen through the guy but didn't afaik. Fuck Beltran.

He's Mexican, and the consultant was already known to be a fake at the time. So he probably didn't care at all.

Blame Rick Berman. The man is a misogynistic power-thugging shitbag already.

I know Beltran is Mexican. I did not know the consultant was already known to be a fake at the time. What. The. Fuck.

I'm not up on my Voyager backstage knowledge at all, but by chance was that consultant John Two-Hawks?

Edit: nope, different fraud.
