"As small as the part was initially, Nichols and Roddenberry had to fight hard to get her on the show at all. When NBC outright refused to let Nichols be a regular, claiming Deep South affiliates would be angered, Roddenberry hired her under the ruse of being a "day worker," but still included her in almost every episode. Nichols, at least initially, actually made more money than any of the other actors through this workaround, and it was kept secret from the other actors, but it was still a humiliating second-class status. Moreover, the network people made life hard for Nichols, constantly trying to pare down her screen time, purposefully dropping racist comments in her presence, and even withholding her fan mail from her."

Feminine Bystander (in Star Trek) STXI critique. --Anenko 23:32, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Original Uhura and Reboot Uhura are too mashed together

I know there's a subhead for the reboot, but the rest of the article veers back and forth between one and the other.
