Right Direction: Perez Points and Science Fiction

right direction: Even though the casting of lauded British actress Jodie Whittaker is widely considered a step in the right direction for the show, Perez points out she's also another white heroine in a genre that has already embraced many, according to Metro News. I see people talking about how we've come so far and how roles for women have improved so much. But she couldn't deny feeling a little disappointed. And then I look at the examples they give, says Perez, who identifies as Afro-Latina and writes about Doctor Who for Black Girl Nerds, a website tackling the world of fandom. Science fiction and fantasy genres have no boundaries for storytelling and yet racial diversity among female leads is a line few writers or producers have crossed. All the characters are white they're white women. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
