‘Trek’s’ Insensitivity to Irish

Usually I enjoy watching “Star Trek: the Next Generation” (KCOP), but recently when an episode depicted a group of Irish people I was furious. I am so sick of the Irish being shown as stupid, fighting, lazy drunkards. I don’t know any Irish person, myself being one too, who is like this and it is time for these stereotypes to stop. For a show that usually preaches peace and togetherness toward all people, it apparently excludes the Irish.
