Yeah, black actors have made a lot of progress since the 80s in terms of non-stereotypical (or at least positive-stereotype) roles in sci-fi. They've gone from being pure cannon fodder and streetwise enforcer types to being captains, mission leaders, and scientists (especially scientists as in Interstellar and the Martian... chalk that up to NDG.)
So, casting a black actress in the sort of awful stereotypical role that black actors have largely moved beyond in sci-fi is an awful choice.
