The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech
and walked out into the lobby where he met President Obama.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 Obama 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 Japanese, but no Muslims.
My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any
Iranians, Syrians or Lebanese on Star Trek."
President Obama laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and
whispered back, "That's because it takes place in the future."
