Yeah, I glossed over that part with an "uh, yeah, kinda, sure" for the Uhuru and Worf things (the put-upon not-terribly-competent "service worker" in TOS is clearly Nurse Chapel, if it's any named recurring character, and Worf gets punched a helluva lot less than one might think given his role and demeanor—Picard is more often both the physical and emotional punching bag, I'd think), an "I guess..." for the Sisko bits, and a "wait, what?" for the complaint about Janeway (they gave her arguable the toughest circumstances for any captain in episode 1 of their show in a Trek thusfar, but she did fine because it's Star Trek and the good guys may have ups and downs but they do basically fine in the end, and it's sexist somehow that she did really well? That show has some deep problems, even with Janeway's character, but sexism's nowhere near the top of the list) and an "I guess I missed something?" for the reboot movies bit.
That should have primed me for being confused later in the piece, I suppose.
[EDIT] the Sisko thing'd have had more weight if that show hadn't spent so much screen time openly dealing with humans (=the US, mostly, for production and character reasons) racist past (mind you, I like that aspect of DS9, even if it doesn't always make much in-universe sense)
