   TNG: DS9, Midde aged white people

   I am new to this group so I hope I am not out of line or bringing up   
   something that has been discussed to death.   
      
   I am starting to get frustrated by the casting of all of the characters.   
      
   It looks that 90% of all the people and aliens in the future are going to be   
   Middle Aged White People.  Except for a few key people all I see are MAWP.   
   I am not sure I have seen a Hispanic, there are a few Asians and a few   
   Blacks.  But all of the key characters are white, Q, white with a receding   
   hairline,  The Borg, The guy who started up a burned out sun, Quark, I could   
   go on and on.  Is it just that the pool of actors in L.A are mostly white or   
   are a lot of these people Star Trek fans who got parts.  Or is it that MAWP   
   are the only people goofy enough to play these roles?   Has anyone noticed   
   this?
