    I’m thinking the Vulcan aids would have more ability being Vulcan and having the mental discipline and training to control their emotions. At that point his aids knew (one was already telepathically propping him up somehow, limited as that is) so not much judgement left.

      I think it was straight up pride. Sarek, being Vulcan, wouldn’t really give a shit at a personal level if a human experienced Sareks emotional shame. I love my wife, but I don’t want her in the bathroom while I take a dump. My cat? Meh.

        I think this is the biggest part of it. Vulcans are insanely racist. We’ve seen that time and time again.
