If TNG is anything to go by, Roddenberry was a fan of actual diversity, not the race quota diversity that modern progressives push. tons of episodes were dedicated to exploring a hypothetical civilization that would seem backwards to us, yet respecting those civilization's customs and not imposing our own sense of morality onto them. A good crew in TNG also had a diverse cast of different races which utilized their strengths, while compensating for their weaknesses. In short, Roddenberry's vision of diversity was both diversity of thought and diversity of race.
Modern progressives push diversity of race, but not really. While they welcome certain races, they demonize and secretly wish to genocide other races. they also completely shun diversity of thought, preferring all races assimilate into their own enlightened philosophies and moralities. They are the Borg, not the Federation.
Keep in mind the character of Geordi La Forge is from Somalia. Ask any normies what race "the engineer from TNG" was and you'd likely get the same level of stupidity that labelled Idris Elba as "African American" because that's all that matters to such superficial topics 🙄
Earth did a lot of heavy lifting in 200 years if Somalia was churning out spaceship engineers.
It had a major human cull event (WW3). Those dependent on Unicef and CARE would die first.
And good fucking riddance.
30% of the human population is lost in WW3 according to Memory Alpha wiki pages but precisely which parts of the world that includes can be tricky to clarify. Many places were supposedly nuked like Washington, New York, and Paris but it also mentions most, if not all, major cities were destroyed and all governments too.
How to heavy lift a zero-rated nation: WW3 (canonically), then move new settlers into the now-vacant-of-life location because why waste space? Dark, but likely how it happened.
