   I was sort of being facetious, but it seems as though no alien   
   race can get along without the full spectrum of human racial types   
   in its mix. So far the Andorians are just white folk with blue   
   makeup, so I figured it was only a matter of time before an   
   Andorian brother showed up.   
      
   It would have been more effective, visually, to restrict certain   
   alien species to specific human racial types. Vulcans could have   
   been all Asian, for example, and Klingons could have been all   
   black. Ferrengi could have been all midgets -- but I guess   
   Roddenberry didn't want to be accused of stereotyping.
