No Betaziod Troi? :dubious:
The Vulcans have Canadian accents. When they get really drunk they’ll call each other ‘hoser’. It just doesn’t happen much.
IIRC Spock was half human.
You’ve forgotten Deanna Troi, another half-human, from Betazed.
His accent and interactions with O’Brien seem to support an English upbringing. But his name and appearance, and those of his parents, point to Middle Eastern extraction.
Way off in the future there shouldn’t be distinct races of people on earth. Intermarriage between races is already making it hard to identify some people. Imagine what a thousand years will bring.
there may be pockets of Chinese or people in India that retain their distinct race. It all depends on immigration. If those countries experience large scale immigration then they will join the huge melting pot too.
Picard, Riker, O’Brian would have a very complex blend of humanity in their backgrounds.
There was that episode where the toadying ensign tried connecting with Riker in ten-forward, by saying that his grandfather was Canadian, only to have Riker fire back that he was from Alaska. As though this is supposed to mean something 250 years after they ceased to be separate legal entities under a United Earth government.
Wasn’t China the leading member of the Eastern Coalition during WWWIII? I’ve heard that as a fanwank to explain the dearth of Chinese (& other Asians) characters in Star Trek.
Yeah, that would be just as unlikely as say… nth generation North Americans getting all dressed up in green and such-like to celebrate some Irish sant’s name-day.
(Picard as I recall also waxes quite lyrical about the right order in which certain colours should appear on a flag… that presumably no longer exists).
At least as late as the TOS era, the United States was still a distinct legal entity, according to the Enterprise’s Library Computer: United States of America | Memory Alpha | Fandom
The episode you’re thinking of was “Lower Decks”: Star Trek: Lower Decks | Memory Alpha | Fandom
Alaska.
But they weren’t major characters - Miles didn’t even have a consistent rank for most of his TNG appearances - he was an officer (albeit not a highly ranked one) for his first several.
Yes, but I was talking Worf, not Wolf. Seriously, must have been misremembering. Not sure where I picked up such a specific memory, though. (Maybe the Rozhenkos mentioned originally being from there?)
Yes, he was. For purpose of this, I count hybrids as aliens, since aside from Naomi that was the significant part, and most of them were raised among their non-human parent’s people.
Oop, yes, I did.
That’s primarily because Alexander Siddig is half-Sudanese, half-English, and raised in England. While they never nailed down where Julian was from, one of the creators (Ronald D Moore) has stated that he’s probably English, with his family ultimately coming from Sudan (chiefly because Siddig is from there), Pakistan, or India. (Brian George, who plays his father is Israeli-born, English raised, of Iraqi decent, and most famous for playing Indians (including Raj’s father on Big Bang Theory). Fadwa El Guindi, who plays his mother is an Arab-American anthropologist, with no other acting credits.)
I was under the impression that Julian Bashir was of Indian or Pakistani background, but he spoke with an English accent and did have at least some attachment to British culture (we see him sing “Jerusalem” with O’Brien at one point), and I’m not sure if he was intended to be an India-Indian or if he was intended to be a British person of Indian descent.
In an alternate future, we find Jake Sisco living in Louisiana, and so that might indicate that the DS9 commander (or his wife) had some Louisiana creole/Cajun/etc. background. Do we see him ever make any Cajun dishes?
There are episodes that feature Sisco’s father who owns a restaurant in Louisiana, so it is safe to say the family has a connection to the area.
The bit I mention there (and in my last post) is the intent of one of the creators, Ronald D Moore, who wrote the episode with his parents. I don’t think any of the others have commented on their intent, one way or the other.
More telling on Sisko’s Louisiana background is his father’s running a restaurant in New Orleans.
And what about Sisko’s father’s New Orleans restaurant?
There was V’Sal, a barber on the Enterprise-D, who clearly had an Indian accent even though he was a Bolian (and was played by Indian voice actor Shelly Desai).
Funny…Troi never sounded American…
Two members of Starfleet went by Singh, FWIW:

In Soviet Union, wolf raised by you!
I was gonna say that or the fact that Jake mentions how great his dad’s gumbo is to Alternate-Reality Mom (I watched all of the Mirror Universe boxed set disc 1 a couple days ago).
