Not only does this not answer the question, it essentially accuses the OP of not using the right words to ask what (you think) they want to ask. I'm positive that the OP knows there's xenophobia in ST.– BeanlucCommented Jan 24, 2018 at 19:42

@Beanluc Actually, I do address prejudice and bias. OP did not use the right words. Sorry that I wasn't as explicit enough in my language. Race is a biological distinction, not a social one. Prejudice based on appearance or ethnic background or religious belief is bigotry. Roddenberry was perhaps one of the first to use the media with such a strong emphasis on social issues. OP is asking if "racism" such as we see in the US still exists in the UFP. My answer is yes, plus there's xenophobia too.– XalorousCommented Feb 19, 2018 at 14:33

@Xalorous Well, I thought the title "Does same-species racism exist in Star Trek?" made it clear.– Donatello SwansinoCommented Mar 8, 2018 at 22:55

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
