It's entertaining for the audience of course, but the constant references to 20th century Earth on Star Trek are a bit funny seen from the outside. Many of the crew members were not even born on Earth, which is only one tiny planet among many. The 20th century is so far away culturally and technologically. Imagine if today the ISS were manned with people who are just obsessed with 17th century Liechtenstein. They listen to Baroque music every day, don period garb for some make believe play every chance they get and explain everything with references to the 30 year war, the Little Ice Age and the witch burnings.

*The Romulans annex a star system in the Neutral Zone* Picard: *in a jovial tone* It looks like we have found our own Prince Johann Adam Andreas, haven't we, Number One? Riker: Aye Sir. But this time Schellenberg will fight back. *The entire crew understands the reference*

Honestly part of the problem with this obsession with only consuming unproblematic fiction is that people are less likely to acknowledge when something is harmful. If you so much as say hey this one joke in this one episode was offensive fans will write you an essay on why it wasn’t. Because they’ve created a world view where this is basically accusing them of being a bad person who has committed an unforgivable sin.
