Yeah. As I said, the problem with Trek is really the entire concept of the Federation, which is basically a human hegemony. While DS9 still has that to contend with - re: my remarks about the Bajorans - the writers still managed to sneak in, to their credit, the idea that all not not right with the Federation, and on occasion confronts the Federation with its own racism and hypocrisy.

In addition to the Eddington speech, I'm also thinking of, in specific, Quark's complaint to Sisko in "The Jem'hadar" about how the Federation discriminates and ridicules the Ferengi, and also how Sisko has to deal with his own not-to-subtle misgivings about Jake being friends with Nog.
