No, it is about the removal of a murderous cult of worshippers of a pedophile moon worshipper (may he burn in hell forever covered in bacon bits).
There is no "race" implied.
Whatever happened to her? I don't think that "bald thing" moved her career forward very much.
Actually, John Colicos, who played the first major Klingon villain [the epsiode with the Organians] created the look of the Klingons by describing his concept of them as "Mongols in Outer Space".
I always assumed he was a Sikh, since hias name was Noonian Khan Singh.
Yeah, but she was supposed to be from an alien species, not Earth.
How dare you? A Klingon has too much honor to pull what the Muslim terrorists do.
She died a few years back. The only movie after that I remember her in was "Nighthawks", with Sylvester Stallone, Rutger Hauer and Billy Dee Williams. She played the #2 terrorist to Hauer's 'Wulfgar'. Got smoked in the scene at the Roosevelt Island tram.
"Sulu was a Japanese-American, not Chinese..."
Japanease-Gay-American
Still, whe was cute, and had the Indian accent.
Thanks -- I looked it up on IMDB. Here is their writeup (sad):
"Persis Khambatta was born in Bombay, India. As a beautiful young woman, she became Miss India in 1965 and later entered the world of international film. She was also a model for various companies, including Revlon. Her biggest acting break was getting the role of Lt. Ilia, the bald Deltan alien in _Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)_ . Unfortunately, her film career did not take off and, with the possible exception of Nighthawks (1981), the movies were not very good. She also made guest appearances on American TV shows. In the early 1980s, Khambatta had to have a heart bypass. A year before her death, she wrote and published a coffee table book called "Pride of India" which featured former Miss Indias; it was dedicated to Mother Teresa and part of the royalties went to the Missionaries of Charity. On Monday, August 17, 1998, Khambatta was admitted to the Marine Hospital in South Mumbai complaining of chest pains. Early the next morning she died of a massive heart attack. She was only 47."
I remember when they said that bald would be the next Big Fad because of her in ST I.
Did a few more including Rutger Hauer's psycho terrorist companion in Night Hawks. Refusing to ever do nudes didn't help her American career. She died some years back of a heart condition.

I must correct myself. The joke does say "Arab" (although that is a general and almost-meaningless as "latino").
The joke should be recast with "muslim" in place of "Arab."
Then it would be funny without being overly offensive!
LOL! You're right. At least they wore a uniform with insignia. I still don't trust them, though. And I'm getting real tired of tribbles sneaking past security for a free ride.
I think a better solution would be to tell them what we used to say when it was time to close the bar. "You don't have to go home, folks, but you can't stay here."
In the case of this obviously retrograde belief, why not just say, 'You don't have to give up Islam, but you can't practice it in our country.'
In other words, boogy on out of the country and find one that wants to commit suicide with you. Clearly we don't.
If all nations followed suit, the whole clan would eventually be isolated in one region where they would be able to finally destroy each other, no longer having access to the civilized world to get their human sacrifices.
I'm posting this just to change my tagline
