Sounds like they were riffing on Kirk's trial in Undiscovered Country. I always loved that film because it illuminates the line between ignorant prejudice and hatred born from personal trauma. And even though some fans didn't like that, I appreciate that nuance especially considering Kirk's outright prejudice against Klingons in TOS.
I agree with you this was a fantastic episode
