The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech and walked out into the lobby where he met the U.S. President.

They shook hands, and as they walked the Iranian said, “You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America.”

The President 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, Iraqis, Afghans, Syrians or Pakistanis on Star Trek.”

The President laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and whispered back,

“That’s because it takes place in the future”.
