Have you seen the one where Torres gets spilt into two beings, one Klingon and one human? It is fucked. I expected them to tell a story about how both halves of her are valid but… they did not tell that story. Massive fuck up.
Didn’t they? Human B’Elanna had to grapple with her internalized anti-Klingon prejudice, and came to see Klingon B’Elanna as a source of strength and self-confidence. Klingon B’Elanna was disdainful toward human B’Elanna but learned to appreciate her Ingenuity and ability to think on her feet. It’s been a few months since I saw that episode but I thought it was decent (grading on a curve because it’s Voyager).
I used to love Star Trek until that Tuvix episode. I’m mixed-race, and when they hauled him off to be killed I saw them hauling off me.

Damn. Thanks that’s a perspective I’d never have thought of. Though I’d also have kept Tuvix around.
