I want to believe that the Star Trek future is a better world. However, the show explicitly displays Spock being treated with bigotry. So, while the 23rd century of Star Trek may be better than our present, it still leaves a lot to be desired.
I hope I don't come the wrong way. Star Trek is a source of joy and hope for me. It's a TV show formative to the best parts of my worldview. Spock is my favorite character.
I've never fit well anywhere, and Spock showed me how to be a person when you can't fit wherever you go.
