No.
The title of this is enticing, but just like the claim made in it, the article fails to deliver.
Chakotay’s character Isn’t racist; it is uninspired. B’lanna is not even remotely close to the “worst” Voyager character. Janeway should have been a healthy blend of Kirk, Picard, and Sisko, not just “more Kirk”.
I think it is extremely easy to critique Voyager with a current lens, but much of its issues stem from the 90s and Jeri Taylor’s exit, as well being the first Trek wholly owned by the network and not allowed to do its own thing like its predecessors.
I was aware of the consultant prior as well, but the fact that they made an attempt wasn’t necessarily racist. We’re talking about cultures that have evolved 400+ years from our own, so they could have come up with anything at all, especially considering that Chakotay didn’t grow up on Earth. They chose not to pursue his background at all, and then chose not to develop him from there, when they had the choice to do anything.
