I was honestly more taken aback by the "In our century, we've learned not to fear words" bit. Meanwhile, in our currently reality: "WORDS ARE VIOLENCE, YOU NAZI!!"
That's kind of the problem. Star Trek is supposed to speak on a future a Liberal Utopia. But the Left were never Liberal. They were just using it as a skin suit for further attacks and subversions.
Although, I was watching a video recently from a review of Star Trek: Picard that made an interesting observation about the nature of both Star Wars and Star Trek in current culture and what has become of them.
The TLDR being that Star Wars exist within the "Constrained"/"Tragic" view of Human Nature, while Star Trek exist within the "Unconstrained"/"Anointed" view of Human Nature. Both started out with fairly hopeful messages, as both views of human nature usually do.
As Star Wars was subverted though, many of its fans, in keeping with a tragic view, began to adapt so that they would not allow their enjoyment to be ruined, and Star Wars has even seen individuals in key positions attempting to subvert the Subverters, which while perhaps not the intention does map toward the idea of decentralized local control the Constrained say will serve people the best.
Star Trek on the other hand has followed the all too typical route of the Anointed, where when they attempt to bring forth their utopia, and they find the ignorant Plebeians refuse to listen to their betters, they begin to lose the hopefulness in favor of bitterness, misanthropy, and nihilism as they seek to purge all those who will constrain their vision, until there is literally nothing left and they are retconning their own work to make it just as hateful and bitter as they are now, destroying everything they ever worked for. Because, you mindless ape, dont deserve utopia if you are going to resist my will!
Perhaps reading a bit too much into the nature of what is happening, I just thought it was interesting.
Honestly, they actually made Lincoln far less racist than he actually was. Lincoln certainly wouldn't have apologized.
She was indeed a charming negress.
