Odd, I thought the romulans and vulcans and such were so designed to reflect a modernized Greek mythology.
Many of the inspirations were based on cultures, since the entire universe couldn't just be white women for Kirk to chase. There can't be hot green women if the universe is filled with ethanol-fueled ships...

You're right of course, Vulcan logic is Greek stoicism.
The greatest allegorical brilliance of Star Trek was having three superpowers at cold war with each other, so when the Cold War ended in real life, the Klingons could become allies while conflict with the Romulans continued.
Three superpowers in competition in the same quadrant strengthened all three powers, which was alluded to in Star Trek V, and the Alpha Quadrant powers stopped any solitary superpower from conquering the entire galaxy, as seen whenever the Borg or the Dominion tried to invade.

Klingons are Black People. Kazon are Niggers. There's a difference. Even the Borg didn't want the niggers.

The Borg had plenty of niggers, they're just hard to see under all that Whiteface makeup.

Kazon were the Delta Quadrant niggers the Borg refused to assimilate because even the "assimilate everything that moves" Borg had standards.
