I mean, they're trying to make a joke but it kinda works better with, idk, Voyager or something (well, maybe gay or black comment but certainly more diverse and highlighting stuff like cultural diversity).

That said, I've seen this exact joke about wokeness already but with TOS, so eh.

Sure, they're trying to make a joke. But, when this kind of thing works as a joke you can go through each item in the list and say "hmm, yeah, I guess" even if as a whole it's clearly not true.

In this case, some of the list items just make no sense, like "black people everywhere" or "pushes gay agenda". If they'd stuck with "woke" and "a captain that Trekkies hated" it could have worked.
