Wow sometimes people are just so easily offended it's actually quite embarrassing and sad. The Star Trek universe is filled to the brim with every conceivable race and culture, with there own unique laws and morality!
The Ligonians are simply just one of those unique cultures! The fact they are an African looking group I can't see how anyone finds this awkward. They arnt portrayed as backward or dumb. They have transporter technology for heaven's sake! There has been plenty of races and peoples in Star Trek that have tech but still prefer upholding there ancient ways!
Enjoyable episode overall but some people unfortunately see racism whenever they simply walk into a room or turn on the TV.
