Not only the first interracial kiss, but also

- A black woman as one of the most important characters

- A gay Japanese man who was in an internment camp at a time when homosexuality was punished and could completely ruin careers

- Extras were somewhat representative of racial demographics

- Had a lot of Jewish influence when anti-semitism was still rather common

- had a main character who was Russian in the middle of the Cold War, when being near Russians could result in blacklisting at best, or prison at worst

- Had at least 6 episodes dedicated to preaching peace, love, and acceptance when a war was looming overhead, and pacifism was seen as weakness 

- And actively listened to the female fanbase

In other words, she is not only wrong, she is also so wrong that at every conceivable level she is wrong. At no point during her tweet did she say anything correct.
