Joke:

The Saudi Ambassador to the UN has just finished giving a speech, and walks out into the lobby where he meets President Bush. They shake hands and as they walk the Saudi says, "You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America." President Bush says, "Well, your Excellency, anything I can do to help you, I will do." The Saudi whispers "My young son watches (and loves) this show Star Trek and in it there are Russians, and Blacks, and Asians, but never any Arabs. He is very upset. He doesn't understand why there are never any Arabs in Star Trek."

President Bush sorta chuckled and leaning toward the Saudi, whispers back, "It's because it takes place in the future...."

I feel horrible about it, but I laughed.

Heh. Didn't some Middle Eastern royal dude or some such play an extra in an episode of TNG?

My feelings can be summed up by

, and not just because of the age.

I think that joke dates back to GHW Bush.

Probably, places like Saudi and the UAE have countless thousands of minor princes running around and many of them live in the US.
