Just A funny comment

The Iraqi 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 Iraqi 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 Iraqi whispers "My son watches 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 laughs and leans toward the Iraqi, and whispers
back, "It's because it takes place in the future....:p :D
 
Hmm, I'm not an Arab but even I'm insulted by that joke. Am I missing something? Lets assume I'm dense and my interpretation of the joke being that there will be no Arabs in the future is wrong, so what is the punchline then?
 
Ohhh... that was a nasty joke.
I think it is funny cuz it puts the last line in bush's mouth, so it is not anti-arab, only a way to picture bush as a mean guy.
