The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there's a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don't. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and ...yeah he could probably pass but that's...well it'd be a much easier call if the character and the VA's "race" matched.

(In the star trek universe this wouldn't matter at all, I'm only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)

  1. Rainy, damp, cloudy, windy weather is peak weather and beats a "nice sunny day" 80% of the time.

  2. Ice cream is winter food and not summer food because of how fatty it is. Popsicles are summer food and not so appealing in the winter.

  3. All countries should be making a 100% effort towards eliminating all meat (except that produced by subsistence farmers and the like) in their diets for the sake of the climate. Poverty is not an excuse because vegetarian diets use many many times less resources (which is why wealthy countries eat much more meat).

  4. Large wealthy countries should provide free vitamin supplements worldwide to reduce diseases.
