This is great because it not only embarrasses Tim Hardaway personally (even though it shouldn't), it also makes fun of his irrational fears.

I'm sure an actor or comedian of Middle Eastern descent could do the same sort of thing about overblown terrorism hype.

Methinks, Theo, that that would possibly would be a good way to get that actor/comedian arrested. :-\

This is a better response than if they'd tried to be serious. Hardaway has definitely been put in his place after that one.

And theo, on your thought about Middle Eastern actors all you could think of was Tony Shalhoub!!

Watch some M*A*S*H and remind yourself who Jamie Farr* is.

*he's the one in the dress.

I said I was joking, wildman.

And you have to go all the way back to M*A*S*H* to think of another actor of Middle Eastern descent?

@ theo47, there's a popular British comedian, Omid Djalili, who makes fun of terrorism in the same way.

absolutely funny .... *claps*

on a more serious note ... dare i say that tim hardaway has some balls for expressing his true honest, albeit ignorant, feelings?!?! there are many people on this little blue planet that sadly still feel like he does! it's a fact of life ...

By rembar

rembar (http://www.videosift.com/member/rembar) — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 01:06:02 -0800

Shhhhh LadyBug! If word gets out that Hardaway has balls, Takei will be bound to hear, and then it's game over for poor Timmy....

...and game on for Georgie.

There's also that actor Maz Jobrani who appeared on Colbert's show to say that although he was an Iranian actor he would never play the role of a terrorist.

It's the universal appeal, man....like Camp David for those who agree, that eating is a vital part of dinner!
Trekkies,sports fans,queers and straights,homophobes and faghags,this is a train we're all riding....
Takei is the perfect "straight man" for a comedic gag like this(having hardly ever broken a smile during his Star Trek stint)....inspired stuff here, kimmel has surprised the hell outta me.....they need to pass the Letterman torch off to him......is Letterman still alive????

Ladybug: I'd have more respect for him if he stuck to his guns. That said, I don't see how it would be possible for him to do that, as his feelings would have to be grounded in some rationality, rather than just being plain old ignorance (as you quite rightly point out).

Sulu is not gay. Takei is.

I HATE gay navigators.

I heard on some tv show that Trekkie fans responded to Takei's coming out by saying "That's okay, we've never been with a woman either!"
