I had hoped that the humans of the 25th Century Federation had evolved or developed educational, political , and other social systems to where bigotry wasn't a large problem anymore.
Kind of like getting rid of money.
Otherwise, there will always be a dark undercurrent of prejudice and hatred in all human dealings, and maybe the Romulans, Klingons, and other antagonistic spacefaring civilizations are justified in not wanting to deal with a human-led Federation.
Specifically in “Balance of Terror” he is telling Stiles that it was unacceptable to judge Spock for looking the same as a Romulan, fully knowing he was a different species.

Hadn’t they been drinking Romulan ale at that point which he regrets?
