 Actually I think I do. Sulu was meant to represent all Eastern Asians on the Enterprise, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans for example. I felt that Scotty represented everyone British on the Enterprise, so I am quite fine with Simon Pegg playing Scotty, he is representing me and you and specific nationality shouldn't matter.
