Worf, Your Discrimination is Showing

Warning: Spoilers
In "Birthright, Part II" Worf finds himself on a prison-cum-commune planet where Romulans and Klingons now live in peace. The original Klingons are old and would prefer to not return and face dishonor at being captured in battle. Their offspring, a mix of Klingons and Romulans, live off the land. Worf shows up and tries to convince them all to embrace their Klingon heritage.

This is a bad look for Worf. He comes off as a bigot and a jingoist. Here we have a planet living in peace and in total happiness. He shows up and tries to hand down some violent customs to the young'uns. He basically Shane's Gi'ral for being half-Romulan, telling her that neither race of people would ever accept her. Worf just comes off looking like a total jerk in this episode. I'm glad he doesn't blow their cover, but still... A disappointing conclusion to the two-parter.

Also we never find out Shrek's motivation for lying to Worf in the first place. I don't understand we he brought Worf there?
