Well anytime the humans try to stereotype the others to support an argument of “we can’t ally our selves with them” there’s always some lieutenant noting “but Anderson over there isn’t like twice as [insert stereotype] and we generally manage to deal with him.”
Humans have so much more variance than Vulcans or Klingons or any of the other races which are just incredibly narrow societies ideologically.

Typical definition of outgroups.
We are: <many good things, with variability, nuance and tolerance>
They are: <not as good, shallow and not complex, predictable>
Hence lieutenant Woof is always saying “they’re going to attack us, we should attack first” every episode.
Then there’s romulans. Fuck romulans.
That reminds me, I still hope Picard got with Laris.
