Like Chris Rock and Larry the Cable Guy, Jerry Seinfeld avoids doing shows on college campuses. And while talking with ESPN’s Colin Cowherd on Thursday, the comedian revealed why: College kids today are too politically correct.
“I hear that all the time,” Seinfeld said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd. “I don’t play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, ‘Don’t go near colleges. They’re so PC.’”
Seinfeld says teens and college-aged kids don’t understand what it means to throw around certain politically-correct terms. “They just want to use these words: ‘That’s racist;’ ‘That’s sexist;’ ‘That’s prejudice,’” he said. “They don’t know what the f—k they’re talking about.”
The funnyman went on to recount a conversation he and his wife had with their 14-year-old daughter, which he believes proved his point.

Earth to Jerry:Do you accept some blame for this???
True, Jerry. Very true. What do you plan to do about it?
I saw this on Facebook as a sidebar of “trending” news items (most of their trending news items deal with celebrities).
Clicking it takes you to a page with a number of articles from different web sources and then Facebooker comments below.
I clicked on the one for Jezebel (a feminist blog) and the posters didn’t disappoint (you can guess their statements before reading them), for example:
...A rich, white, cisgender, heterosexual, man wants to tell me what to get offended over. #America
...maybe the thing ruining comedy isn’t political correctness but insecure men who like to literally whip their penises out as a power play.
...Anyone who uses the term “PC” is usually trying to deflect responsibility for their bullsh!t comments. Also, they’re usually not funny.
...White privilege and ignorance...he’s rich and should enjoy just keeping quiet about race/sex issues that are clearly not affecting his personal life...
...Another white man who wants to set the discourse for what’s racist and what’s sexist.
...”Get off my lawn!” harrumphs old man.
...There’s no such thing as reverse racism. People can be bigoted, but if they don’t have power, they can’t be racists. Plus the term reverse racism implies that regular old racism is ok.
1000+ variations of liberal whine translating as “hey white guys, sit down and shut up!”
Ageism, classism, sexism, and racial bigotry are okay when they do it.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Finally, a Politically correct Comic states the truth about politically correct College students! (Have to love these idiots - knowledge has its limits, especially when only taught from the left side) Has the world ended yet?
If this continues, the US has no chance as Putin takes over the world!!
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
Hell no, there is nothing wrong with that! The only problem is that our young and ignorant students are succumbing to leftist propaganda...nothing wrong with that...
We of course stand by and applaud the success of the students (probably due to media) that are going out into the world to continue their propaganda...geez! Hopefully, they will fail big time!
This is called progress by the media...
Putin has problems too.
Ah, Yes he does but his problem are economic and taking over territory seems to be a good plan. Just look at the results today!
Problems to Putin are only obstacles to be overcome using force so just stand back and watch (which is what NATO will do as we have become impotent).
Wow: Jerry and his friends pushed so hard for the liberal utopia and now they hate it.
He must be racist.
Folks, it’s a self solving problem. The PC idiots have ensured a collapse and when it happens they will starve to death, be worked to death by their feral slave masters and once the ferals are eliminated, we get our country back.
We just have to amend the constitution so that liberalism is a criminal offense subject to deportation.
they will starve to death, be worked to death by their feral slave masters and once the ferals are eliminated, we get our country back.

Think I will run on a platform of
You don’t like it here, WE will give you a check for 6 months of whatever money you receive and a free ride to anywhere on the planet with the idea being you NEVER come back. On Jan 22 or 23 the ‘unemployed or unemployable’ will be transported to the Southern border for starters and commence building a moat and a fence. You will get your min 15 per hour but you will work. When Southern fence completed in about 6 months we will start work on a northern fence. When borders secured you will have enough money to start a new life and we may even put people in those foreclosed homes to start their new start. ALL people here without proper papers will be given a chance to ‘log in’ and if you or your family were engaged in criminal activity, we will not put you in a plush stateside jail, we will return you to the country of origin where the people in charge will be told to incarcerate you or their bennies will be cut off. You can keep your ‘culture’ BUT all government business will be conducted in English with the exception of Immigration and its ‘subsidiaries’.
I will do one term and leave office feeling I accomplished something - Because WE will have accomplished something.
I wish I had my health back. I would run. And I would do exactly what I do and say on FR. The problem the right has is they forgot where their guts are located. Look at how anytime Cruz or someone else says something red meat. It’s either an orgasm of “About time!” or the vapors. Hiding what we believe only benefits liberals. It’s what they want. Our silence until they can throw us in camps.
What, no live show on the campii ripping the soup speech, Nazis?
Scary! Scary! Scary!
Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.
My grandmother is over eighty and still doesn’t need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle.
Take my wife, please.
