The reactivation of the EMH's backup sparks doubt over the official history of an alien planet and ignites racial tensions. From Star Trek Voyager S4E23: Living Witness
The truth is there are differences to races. Biological, neurological, cultural, the list goes on and on. The more inconsolable of those differences can lead to many problems, including war. Pretending those differences don't exist, even under the pretense of working together equally, is illogical and ill advised for community building or cultural assimilation, as we can see by the many failed examples of nations who undervalue their national sovereignty today. America, EU nations, Canada, Australia, etc.
The woman with the attitude, wow- she's one of those race/grievance hustlers. They should have just thrown her off the committee because she's obviously biased.
To be fair, she may have had legitimate grievances. We have racial disparities in our own societies today. Where she errored was when she conflated those grievances with the objective analysis of history. Facts are facts, regardless of their greater implications.
Even though it's just a filler episode and doesn't drive the plot in any sense of the word. I agree, it was excellent. I wish they had more stand alone's that were as good as this one.
Those who say "it's about race" are the ones who make it about race instead of about truth.

Except they never would've allowed an alien to have a weapon onboard... just a small issue with the storyline.

0:43 - "He's dead, Kathryn."
One of the better Voyager episodes.

Race is very important, for those to whom it's very important.
Yes. Same with religion and ethnocentric agenda
