Rewatching Voyager for the umpteenth time and seeing this episode through new eyes.
Interesting parallels of what it's like to be a POC and have people dismiss the struggles we deal with on a daily basis such as acceptance and fitting in.
Roxanna Dawson gives a stellar performance in portraying how she doesn't want her future child to experience what she went through. Tom being dismissive at first is what happens to a lot of minorities.
Not sure if the writer had this in mind back in 2001 (a simpler time!) but it's a brilliant portrayal of the need to be accepted and not seen for our physical appearances and cultures.
