Oh. Well to be honest, whilst I don't like Burnham (or Discovery generally, really) and I think she is a total Mary Sue, I don't remember that her being black or female has ever been brought up explicitly at any point. Sisko's race was given a lot more explicit treatment than Burnham's has been. And considering the circumstances of his conception and role in the story of DS9, 'Diverse Space Jesus' seems like just as appropriate a label for him as well.
