The move by creator Bryan Fuller breaks ground in several ways: Martin-Green becomes the first African-American female lead of a “Star Trek” series. Excellent! The franchise has also never had a non-commanding officer act as the main character.

The key, though, is that the future Roddenberry at his best envisioned had every color in the rainbow and then some. Which meant you couldn’t go two minutes on the Enterprise without running across a slew of black, brown, etc. people along with many other species. Which is why Trek consistently cast for very diverse ensembles.
To get to a future where ‘it doesn’t matter,’ you have to present to an audience a vision of that wholly diverse and untroubled world. You don’t do that by just casting and showing white people, which is why they didn’t.
