Subverted by Tendi and Pelia though.

    They both seem pretty well assimilated into human culture though. Maybe the crazy can rub off. I think the Vulcans definitely would have said that about T'Pol.

    In actuality though, I think it's probably just that every species has these people, humans just have more for whatever reason. And so the other species' people go to join the humans

    Humans in Trek seem to value individuality over conformity more than most of the other cultures. The ones most like them in that regard are probably Klingons and Bajorans. Likely contributes to the high number of crazy mavericks.

    Why do you think there are so few Orions in Starfleet? Because Tendi is one of the few weirdos who Gets It. The rest are like "WTF you people are crazy!"
