Kim was from South Carolina and it would have been interesting if he'd had a streak of redneck about him.

He should have played the jug instead of the clarinet.
He could play with the Darlings from The Andy Griffith Show.

I loved those guys!

"Eskimos" is considered a racist word by many now. They prefer Inuit.
As for Sherpas... who knows? Voyager couldn't even find a real advisor to consult regarding Chakotay's culture. It's not likely to be much different for any prospective character from Nepal.
Or has Lindsey Graham for an ancestor...Kim was from South Carolina and it would have been interesting if he'd had a streak of redneck about him.
Er no they don'tBritain tends to absorb people from places they had involvement in during colonial days, see British Indians
I think that idea is intriguing — Pulaski and the EMH would have made an interesting pairing.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.
Now that would make a great fanfic!I think that idea is intriguing — Pulaski and the EMH would have made an interesting pairing.
Also French people with British accents.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 Andorians
I always think it's hilarious that so many people seem amazed that people who don't get along in person can work together on screen. I've been with enough actors to watch how many of them literally flip a switch and become another person and then switch it right off again. They train to do that, and the reason you see them in the shows is precisely because they can do that. Any takes they do where they can't end up on the cutting room floor.
As an actor, I can attest to this strongly. Years ago, I acted at North Coast Repertory in Solana Beach, California in the late 2000's. One of my co-stars in a production was an actress (I'll call her Beth for now) who I had serious on-stage chemistry with, to the point that in one production a romantic backstory was hinted at by the director. Truth is, Beth and I knocked heads constantly off stage. I wouldn't say we hated each other, but we certainly clashed often and about myriad different things, and we came from completely different worlds. That being said, our last production together was a one act directed by a mutual friend, set in 1920's New York in a film noir style. I played a detective interrogating the young woman Beth was playing, and at one point my character abruptly decided he had enough evidence to arrest Beth's character for murder. It ended in an incredible scene of us shouting at the top of our lungs at the same time, me yelling, "You shot him cold blooded!" and her screaming, "I didn't kill him!" It was intense, and one of my proudest moments on stage. I will always be grateful to Beth for being there so we could both shine. Beth and I keep in touch on social media to this day, although we are better friends now than we were as fellow actors. Life is so strange.
Also, Nana and Rene seem to have been close, as well as Cirroc and Nog.
Diana Muldaur would likely disagree with that. From what I've read, her co-workers treated her like shit.
IIRC Cirroc was friends with Avery Brooks' son and he wanted Cirroc to be cast as Jake because of it.And Cirroc and Avery Brooks reportedly had a very close relationship, similar to the father/son dynamic of their characters.
To further emphasize that parallel, I remember when Michael Dorn was asked about working with the two casts, he described being on TNG like "going to a party every day" while DS9 was like "just another day at the office."
The showrunners didn't care enough to have Kim's ethnicity worked out through the entirety of Voyager's run. I don't know if that's racist or just a sign that they really didn't care about the Kim character at all, or both.
There's also been no dolphin representation, hopefully Lower Decks will address that.
