Alexander Rozhenko is in the tagset under Star Trek: The Next Generation without any groupings. Happy to be corrected, but I'm pretty sure every actor who ever played him on the show and in subsequent appearances in the TV franchise was white.

I accepted Alexander as the son of Worf, who I accepted as at least fantasy!Black because he was portrayed by Michael Dorn. While the IRL casting and costuming is less than ideal within that interpretation, I didn't want to hold that against the nominator of what I saw as a fair assumption of who the character should be in fiction.

TNG nominator here. This was actually a mistake on my part; I thought I remembered one of the actors who played Alexander being Black, but I was wrong. Accepting the nomination on the basis of him being Worf's son is fair, though if I had double checked and realized all the actors were white, I personally would have erred on the side of caution and not nominated him. Obviously it's your call, I just thought I'd put that out there. (And I do appreciate the assumption of good faith!)
