When I first got into Star Trek 20 years or so ago this was also my immediate conclusion

Ferengi is goblins, Neelix is a hobbit

I was just about to ask who was the jew-coded race

Oh friend, oh dear friend, the Ferengi are uh, an entire issue

The Ferengi are so clearly a send up of American free market laissez-faire capitalists. The Ferengi are US, many people are just too ideologically lost in the sauce to realize it.

Every fantasy/space opera has one!

They did the whole arc -Need a race to be shitty and greedy -Cast only jewish actors as them -Let’s have one on the DS9 main cast for fun! -Uh-oh realize the implications now that they have lots of screentime -Let’s give them redeeming qualities -Now everyone’s cool with the shitty greedy goblins

That's better than average!

Tellarites are the space dwarves actually. Very little representation until Prodigy though.

Im not saying they're all dwarves, im saying in lotr the Jewish race are the dwarves
