I think, the political, ethnic issues should go to to Politics arena. There is a lot of stuff that is not politically correct to say it. May be we should have a separate forum specifically for "Politically Incorrect" debates. Then we can discuss Native American (not American Indian, a mistake in name that has stuck for eternity), Pre-Christians (Jews?), Christians, Males, Females and so on....In each case there are issues that should be resolved otherwise there will be resentment and problems and consequences in each relationship. It can be done without flame.
Now back to Startrek. The original series was written in such a way that the power ratios were maintained. What I mean is when a person or technology had certain power or abilities or properties, it was maintained throughout the episode. Recent series writers have problems with that. For example, Hercules can throw a few ton size monster to the orbit but will get knock down by a mere human! Or that Voyger computer can produce real human brain computations in the holodeck but can not think to protect itself.
Hope the new Startrek stories are consistent to todays development in expert systems, AI, genetics, biotechnology, cryogenics, nanotechology, molecular science, optronics, material science and most of all computers - And keeps up with Moores Law. By 2050, we will have computers that will be better that Voygers. Let us see what the systems look like in 2150!
