Star Trek Joke

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 you, I will."
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 Arabs on Star Trek."
President Bush laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and
whispered back,

"It's because it takes place in the future."

:rofl:
ya know, there was always the running joke in trekdom about there not being any hispanics in the future either...
