== Removal of Teal'c from black stereotypes == 

 *The argument made for Teal'c's removal was that he was an alien and therefore not black.  I agree and disagree.  While he is an alien in the show, "black" is more of a social perception than an actual racial categorization - Tiger Woods is probably categorized as black to most people at first blush even though he is half-Asian and identifies as multiracial.  Here's an analysis of Star Trek's racial/alien/etc categorizations, but it's strictly by the numbers and not much of an analysis of their stereotypical traits.  Does it mean something for Klingons to be cast by blacks (biracial in the case of B'Elanna Torres)?
