I agree with you. Two of my main comments when I was chewing over the film later were
1) They should have had Pike's first officer be Number One or some variation thereof. It would have been a great tribute to Majel Barrett R., too, in the circs.
2) Chekov should have been replaced by a woman from Iraq, Afghanistan, or one of the various Arab countries.
Also, in this day and age, it's bizarre that that only manifestly "interracial" character we met was also interspecies.
