Great show - some "diversity"
This is one of my favourite shows of all time. I've watched it twice, every episode, and will do so again in the future. TV doesn't get any better. That having been said, just as with the entire Star Trek universe, there are some Left-leaning elements that should be noted.
First, as I have noted in my review for TNG (the New Generation), the Federation of Planets is a Utopian socialist dream where a centralized state runs your life, and there is no money or private property (the WEF globalist vision). It's a secular humanist vision for the future. Traditional religion is ridiculed, though a sort of shamanic or pantheistic spirituality and pantheism is exalted at times (esp. in the character of Chakotay).
There is definitely some "diversity" going on with a black Vulcan lieutenant, and a seemingly gay physician ("the Doctor") and a female captain, but it's done well. It's not forced on us as it would be today. Great show. This was before Star Trek was ruined a few years later.

Unappreciated
It is not a series that all Trek fans like, but I really enjoyed it.
There is a strong but limited woke component in the Affirmative Action hiring decisions. They invented black Vulcans. They used a female captain not for any reason other than wokeness. And Chakotay is oh so annoying with his faux Native American facade. I detest Chakotay.
If you can swallow the casting decisions and basic characters, it is an entertaining series, albeit with some real stinker episodes.
