Shatner was mocking people who think new Star Trek is too “woke”.
The original Star Trek was known for its very progressive (at the time) themes, and especially for its integrated cast. Don’t have the energy to google it rn, but I think Shatner was one of the first white TV actors to kiss a black co-star onscreen.
It’s an incorrect/misleading title.
