DS9 was thoughtful and intelligent about it, sublte, not a sledge hammer overly relying on an academic lingo that many working class folks find off putting.
Folks also didn't complain about the massive divisity of Season 3 of Picard, 5 black main characters (3 of which were women and 2 men), a trans character (Esmar They/Them just like the actor) & in a way a second one in the Lol part new Data, an Asian Bajoran, at least bisexual 2 women who end up in charge of the Titan, a broad range of ages, and Troi and Dr. Crusher had some of the best writing they ever got, especially Dr. Crusher who often seemed less interesting IMHO then Dr. Pulaski previously.
Part of that was that Matalas didn't brag about the diversity, it just played it cool and acted like it was normal, so everyone else did too, can't brag about diversity and normalize it at the same time, its one or the other.
