* Iranian-American comedian Maz Jobrani lampoons this along with Middle Eastern stereotypes:
-->"We're making progress in this country. You know how I know this? I saw a car commercial, and the driver was ''Asian.'' Good for that car company. They're taking a stand. They're saying 'No, Asians ''can'' drive, and they ''will'' drive - our cars.' Then I thought, maybe they're making kind of a racist statement, like, 'Our cars are so safe even Asians can drive them.' But still... I mean, you're never going to see a Middle Eastern pilot in an airline commercial. [putting on accent] 'Come fly the friendly skies... my friend.'"
