We know you really weren't a bigot towards Klingons in real life.

I think they all were in that episode at one time or another. Remember what Chekov said: "Guess who's coming to dinner."
A transparent allusion.
Just finished re-watching season 3 a few days ago.
In Day of the Dove they tinted Ross's hair to much darker than in his earlier 5 or 6 "Galloway" appearances.
This was common when reusing an actor who had played another part-----Muldaur's hair color changed in "Is There In truth.."
In "Turnabout.." his hair was still being tinted darker--so it seems they were using him as still the dark haired "Johnson"
They were pretty good at catching those mistakes from the scripts before filming started and giving the actor the same previous name if the character was alive and changing the name if the character had been killed---except in the case of Leslie.
That may have been Shatner's doing as Leslie was Shatner's daughter's name and he may have wanted to continue to use it to make her happy.
That's how "Mr LemLi's name was invented--a combination of 2 of his daughter's name.
Also in "Turnabout..." Shatner insisted on calling Barbara Baldavin's communications officer Lt. "Lisa" rather than the established Angela as a shout out to his daughter Lisabeth.
It worked in that context because it kind of was a subtle hint that Lester/Kirk didn't know all the crew's names.

And Chekov's comments concerning Klingons in Trouble with Tribbles, "close enought to smell them."
At least Chekov's character is consistant through time.
Providing they're still live, I wonder if they'd be happy their social security numbers were just displayed on the internet.
Maybe that image should be removed?
DID YOU KNOW: The first three digits of your SS# indicate your place of birth? its the last 6 that make a difference...
Anytime an actor speaks on camera he earns a lot more money- that is why when a main character hand something to an extra and tells them to "Take this down the lab" they just nod and leave.
Yes and......

All three: Leslie, Melanie, Lisabeth = LeMLi.
