I like Quark’s casual speciesism reply: “All hoo-mans alike.”
Which kind of makes sense. Like you can tell the difference between your dog and the neighbor’s dog but could you tell the difference between two ants or two shrimp or two slugs? Star Trek aliens are pretty much humanoid bipeds for budget reasons but irl you might have a really hard time telling the difference between members of another sentient species.
And a very business-minded response. Who cares what they look like, so long as they continue to eat, drink, gamble, and enjoy sex? Preferably via his establishment.
And finally - look-alikes are a thing. There’s a lot of old photos/paintings seemingly showing someone contemporary. It’s neat but doesn’t suggest anything deeper.

Might be a Q.
