crobatshit:

what i really love about ben sisko’s character is he isn’t a generic american, like most star trek americans, but he’s got a specific heritage. he’s benjamim lafayette sisko, a native of new orleans, with a unique culinary tradition, a connection to creole culture, and love of west african history. even his inclusion of tube grub into his dishes for nog’s sake is so very creole, the combination of cultures to produce a richer dish. riker never really felt alaskan and bones was southern by accent only, but sisko was uniquely louisianan, which contributed to making him a fuller character.
