I rambled quite a bit on Sisko, Bashir, and O'Brien from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine over on kattahj's journal and I hope you don't mind my continuing to do so here! Not that I've anything insightful to say about class -- I'm no academic, just a Trek fan :)
Oh, you're more than welcome! There's a lot of different discussions going on here and they are all fascinating and I'm glad to host them all, but I wish there were more comments like yours, talking about our cannons and how fen respond to them, since I really have so little data at the end of the day.
So the can-pass-as-white upper-class character gets written most, while the middle-class CoC and working-class white character are about the same? That seems to fit our general assumptions. (Although it passes over the distinction between main and supporting characters.)
