   Since the whole point of a diverse cast is to punish the hetero white   
   male and a show that is made up of characters who are all from one   
   non-Caucasian ethnic group is considered diverse, no there were never   
   any hetero white males in Star Fleet in the new timeline.   
      
   Especially not Kirk.
