We'll only make laws for banks (better get that inspection for the property we're lien-owners of), and even then we need to make sure you pay for it.
That's capitalism, at least now. We'll make laws, but only for capitalist ownership. (But we pinky swear-promise, we all participate in capitalism, so you're like an owner too! We Swear!)
Just to add to what's being said here. I always thought that a lot of the racism (despite it being worked on in later episodes - even though it was definitely still there) didn't "show" because of the inherent military nature of the federation.
If he's just taking orders and doing his job, while only making loud complaints of the garbage Cardassian computer (which ALMOST killed Dukat himself in the episode "Civil Defense"), then maybe it doesn't come out much. Like, I had NO idea O'Brien hated Cardassians so much until the TNG episode The Wounded.
I think even the show, Community, does a funny (non-Star Trek related) riff on this type of stuff in the episode "Aerodynamics of Gender." ** By "type of stuff," I mean the idea of being able to just make someone a racist after-the-fact with inserted footage, or dialogue that would otherwise not be part of the character.
I would really like to believe that it was her adding, "You people are next," that got her in to trouble. Otherwise, I find it troubling to get in to trouble by telling someone their own slogan.
It would be like going to jail for sitting through a Mets game, watching them lose, and then saying, "Lets go Mets," only to then be arrested.
