To further complicate Damburger's argument, Odo wasn't human at all. He was a Changeling with no experience in child-rearing. And the adolescent Jem-Hadar was there only for a few days, if I recall. A week isn't much time to learn about parenting a child from your OWN species. The Jem-Hadar were biological weapons, essentially. They displayed no interest in anything beyond warfare, because that's how the Founders made them.

I hardly see racist overtones in this.
