The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech, and walked out into the lobby where he met President Bush.
They shook hands, and as they walked the Iranian said, “You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America.
President Bush said, “Well, anything I can do to help. What is it?”
The Iranian whispered “My son watches this show ‘Star Trek’ and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is Black and Sulu who is Chinese, but no Arabs. My son is very upset and doesn’t understand why there aren’t any Iranians, Syrians or Iraqis on “Star Trek.”
The President laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and whispered:
“It’s because it takes place in the future.”
