I never watched DS9, but I found this:

"The Jem'Hadar", this genetically engineered species has struck fear in the hearts of all who oppose them. Their menacing appearance and rigid bearing reveal their designation as warriors of the Dominion -- coded within their DNA are genes that manifest into an inborn propensity for violence. However, their devotion to the Founders and the Dominion cause is equally impressive

Sounds about right. Do these guys like a laugh and a nice cuppa tea too?

Germany circa 1940's.

krimson wouldn't the borgs be almost opposite of Germany. The Nazi's wanted to puurify the world, not mix every race together.

Yes, it is racist. But I only base that on the episode where Spock gets hammered and drops the n-bomb 30 or 40 times.

Saying who each race represents without explaining why is retarded.

While I think the OP is an idiot, I'll just say that if you watch the Special Features and Director's Commentary of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, you'll see how un-racist Star Trek was.

Edit: Star trek SIX was TUC, not FOUR.
