To Pierre Kattar and Ben de la Cruz,
I wanted to write to you to tell you how much I enjoyed your video clip “Comedy with an Agenda” (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/politics/aacomedians/index.htm?nav=lb)
that was posted on your Web site this morning. I found it very intriguing and quite funny.
However, in the caption to the video feed you mention Arab American comics. One of the comics that is featured in the video is Maz Jobrani, who you also have featured on the home page to Washingtonpost.com above the headline “Arab Comics get Caustic.”
One problem: Maz Jobrani (http://www.mazjobrani.com/), isn’t Arab — he’s Iranian. Even his Web site reads: “When Maz was a child in the Alborz mountains of Iran…”
I request a correction at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Cyrus J. Farivar
