I think the reason I didn't mind it so much from McCoy is because the show clearly shows that he's wrong, and as it goes on that he likely knows it as well, and by this point is just trying to get Spock to show emotion as well as just feeling it. We're never really supposed to think that McCoy is right in calling Spock an unfeeling machine.

But Kirk calling Spock 'human' in his eulogy is clearly supposed to be the highest possible compliment, on both Kirk and the show's part, and never mind what it says about how much they value Spock's vulcan heritage.

It's also darkly funny to me that the fact that Spock's soul is in fact vulcan is what saves his life.

I recently re-watched season 1 and man - McCoy made me MAD. He was such a jerk to Spock so fucking often..... I mean, legitimately *nasty*.

I still like McCoy, but man - slow your roll, dude.

Given what an on the nose metaphor Spock was for the Other, I think having the otherwise likable cranky Southerner being obnoxiously racist and also obviously wrong for it all the time was probably the point. Subtlety wasn’t Season 1’s strong point.
