Original Note:
Context: quoting George Takei while making the generalization about "straight and white" is misleading. George Takei is, quite famously, both not white (having been placed in a Japanese-American internment camp as a child during WWII) and gay (having come out decades ago). https://web.archive.org/web/20170622122717/http://japanese-american-internees.mooseroots.com/l/41118/Hosato-G-Takei https://web.archive.org/web/20210603125355/https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/performing-arts/2017/02/03/at-smu-talk-george-takei-takes-star-trek-like-aim-at-trump-s-immigration-policies/ https://web.archive.org/web/20210908160713/https://www.today.com/popculture/george-takei-mr-sulu-says-hes-gay-2D80555905
