Diana Muldaur would likely disagree with that. From what I've read, her co-workers treated her like shit.
Wow, why so?

They resented her taking over from Gates McFadden as the ship's doctor.Wow, why so?
Though in the beginning no one (other than maybe Dax) liked Bashir in the beginning--I'm still amazed Kira didn't wipe the floor with him in "Emissary"It might have evolved, like the characters' relationship did. Remember when O'Brien could barely stand being in the same room with Bashir? At the end, they were one of Trek's finest bromances.
Colm Meany and Alexander Siddig apparently had some friction over the Irish/English political situation.
Actually, they were fast friends. Meaney simply would have fun with Sid, taking him to Irish pubs around Los Angeles for a laugh. Their relationship was prankish.
Interesting since Siddig is SudaneseColm Meany and Alexander Siddig apparently had some friction over the Irish/English political situation.

Does not automatically make a person pro English when it came to the Irish question.According to his wikipedia article he has been living in Britain since he was two and his mother was a British woman named Gloria Taylor.

Neither does being English.Does not make automatically make a person pro English when it came to the Irish question.
The DS9 cast were like co-workers.
Meaney corrected him by saying it was because he was British.

But being born in Sudan doesn't make somebody automatically Sudanese either.
The irony is, in England if it was known that Siddig was part Arab, in the 60's he would share the no Irish, no dogs and no coloured welcome mat. Oh wellIn the midst of the Troubles, a group of Irishmen saw Siddig as the representatives of British imperialism.
Or just professional in their work.Almost like they were acting....

Ironic or not, it's par for the course. Prejudices are not universal (although prejudice is). When I was in France in Winter 2003, it didn't matter that I was half-Mexican or registered as a Democrat. What mattered, as George Bush trying to convince other nations to invade Iraq, was that I was American.The irony is, in England if it was known that Siddig was part Arab, in the 60's he would share the no Irish, no dogs and no coloured welcome mat.

he was keen on being ambiguous about the ethnicity of Bashir, asking the writers to avoid anything identifiable

It's a shame. I loved Dr. Pulaski, once she got over her bigotry toward Data.
In 300 years what it is means to be Arab will not be so restricted. Also there will be Africans who look like Charlize Theron since their ancestors would have lived there for 600 years and Swedish people who look like Uhura. And in the Trek universe French people who look like AndoriansThat's certainly the more realistic approach, there will be fewer and fewer people who will be over 50% any ethnicity, especially in 300 years.
I've read fanfic that wrote her as a great-granddaughter of Leonard McCoy, who grew up hearing about McCoy's Starfleet adventures and absorbing his dislike of androids, AI, and so on. I would think that she'd have had the same opinion of the Doctor on Voyager - seeing him as merely a computer program and not a sentient personality.I liked her difficulty accepting Data... it gave her character a place to go. Maybe even created a little conflict, too.
