An odd thought admittedly inspired by the name - 'trek' is an odd choice of words for the OTL version, and Roddenberry originally wanted to call it the more American 'Wagon Train to the Stars'...

Anyway, let's say that a Star Trek-like show is made in the mid-1960s in apartheid South Africa (and isn't made in the US). Let's assume it's English language, as otherwise it wouldn't have much influence outside South Africa.

What sort of values would be represented therein? Certainly no interracial kiss! ;)

And I wonder what would happen if, after 1994, some nostalgists wanted to make a 'Next Generation' version, and we'd have the same furore over things like Tintin in the Congo in OTL...
