One good thing you can say about the Borg. They accepted everyone. They discriminated against no one.

This is a minor point and I may get some flack for this, but Tuvok always bothered me. Not that Tim Russ didn't do a fine job, but while it makes sense that doctors, the Borg, and many other groups would reflect Terran racial diversity and that Vulcans might be racially diverse as well, somehow the idea that sentient beings would evolve on a planet orbiting Epsilon Eridani with copper-based blood would have exactly the same racial variations humans have struck me as improbable, and that detracted a bit from the verisimilitude of the Star Trek universe. Maybe Spock should have been green and Tuvok orange or something.

Romulan privilege always bothered me.

On the other hand, how much diversity can you have in a population whose central tenet is assimilation?
