I think "Suspicion" might also be a good example, where everyone is convinced that Teyla and the Athosians are in league with the Wraith - very "you primitives need to earn our trust and can clearly not make important decisions on your own".
"Brotherhood" also, as they're pretty much going to take the ZPM from the monks or whatever.
"Inferno" maybe isn't Top Ten worthy, although I think there's a fair amount of attitude about rescuing the inhabitants from the volcano? (Bonus insane sexism from McKay. God, I sort of have to focus on one form of asshattery at a time with this show or I'll go mad.)
"Sanctuary", I seem to remember a certain vibe...but I don't think I have sufficient alcohol in my house to watch this one again either. I think I've repressed everything after "MALP on a stick".
The whole storyline where they genetically alter the Wraith? That's...well, a stunning display of medical ethics, for one thing, but I also see a really creepy vibe of "let us remake the galaxy in our own image" there.
Also, I keep thinking "hey, what about the episode where they..." and then realizing, "no, on second thought, that's a better example of racism, or misogyny". This show - so pretty, but so, SO FUCKED UP.
