Oh my.
According to that sourcelink, a sophomore by the name of Anthony Berteaux from San Diego State University decided to write an open letter to Jerry Seinfeld in response to Seinfeld's recent criticism of college students for being too politically correct.
I'm fairly certain that Anthony didn't mean for his letter to completely prove that Seinfeld was 100% correct, but that's exactly what it did.

You know, he would probably find an ad like this both sexist and racist, as well as homophobic:

This kid has some ‘issues’
(Not that there is anything wrong with that!)
Anthony sees the tree but not the forest. That’s the problem with a large percentage of the Millenials. The education system convinced them that wisdom has no value so they only study knowledge. And here we are.
Thanks Anthony, for your insight. I am so glad you learned so much in college. I’ll have a grande Americano, leave room for milk.
Kids have always been stupid. Used to they grew out of it. Not so much anymore.
He’s arguing with himself here plus he contradicts himself over and over, but the worst is when he uses “respectively” instead of “respectfully” I can’t forgive that now.
He’s the editor of his college paper... It really is tragic what is happening in this country. The commies won.
Damn, I was going to tell him I wanted fries with my burger.
I’m sure he was in his pajamas and sipping hot chocolate when he wrote this.
He’s on a slippery slope.
The kid obviously won that George Costanza scholarship.
Yes Anthony, I think I *will* have fries with that.
Dang, someone beat me to it.
I know I'm a bad father, but I let my 13 year old son watch "Blazing Saddles" last night. I warned him about the language, but he loved Mongo and the campfire scene.
The movie's over 40 years old and it still cracks me up.
Not long ago, I can remember reading an interview with a woman who discussed what things are like on a lot of university campuses these days. If my memory serves me properly, I recall her mentioning that these so called “safe zones” are quite often rooms that have stuffed toys and other kiddie things that the students can go and cuddle up with if they are bothered by something.
In my day (about 25 years ago) in university, I liked going to working men’s pubs and country music nightclubs well away from campus. I also discovered that I really did prefer to play hockey without a facemask or helmet (better sight and hearing and overall sense of where you were and what you were doing out on the ice). I know I’m being a little silly to mention these things, but to think that campuses are now filled to the brim with characters like the one who wrote that letter to Jerry and who need these zones just really takes my breath away, compared to even what I did back then.
I see that Anthony is like most kids these days. They can’t get along without using the F word with regularity.
Ah for the good old days of the KINGSTON TRIO.
They’re rioting in Africa
They’re starving in Spain
There’s hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans
The Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs
South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don’t like anybody very much
But we can be tranquil and thankful
And proud for man’s been endowed
With a mushroom shaped cloud
And we know for certain that
Some lovely day someone will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away
They’re rioting in Africa
There’s strife in Iran
What nature doesn’t do to us will be done by our fellow man.
If students filed 8 to 10,000 complaints per semester it would quickly come to an end.
Not only is it hilarious, but it’s also brilliant social satire. Which of course, the left just doesn’t comprehend.
I wonder what their response would be if they saw Mel Brooks’ classic, “The Producers?”
Blazing Saddles could never be made today, and we’re much the poorer for it. A Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, or Richard Pryor would be booed off the stage at nearly any college campus these days.
