Star Trek anti-racist?

I disagree. It has a blatant pro-Human bias.

Since the Vulcans were in space long before humans left earth in the Star Trek universe, why aren't any creature with two arms, two legs, one head with two eyes pointing forward and ears of any shape on the side of the head called Vulcanoids rather than humanoids?

1. The Star Trek universe made it clear humans did anything that didn’t kill them first. Vulcans didn’t make lots of mixed-breeds. Or create a lot of colonies that I saw in that universe. Thus humanoids expanded and bred far more compared to Vulcans.
2. The Federation was probably held together by human Rishathra (to borrow from Larry Niven). Which added human DNA even to alien gene pools, making them all “human-oid”.

If the show was being watched on Vulcan, I'm sure this would be the case.
