It was a comedy bit about his poor pick-up lines with women. It was not about religion. Let’s not melt like snowflakes, people.

Exactly. I just watched it on YouTube. I didn’t find it objectionable, not hysterically funny, but not offensive.

Jerry Seinfeld has said that he won’t play college campus gigs anymore because political correctness has made it pretty much impossible to tell any jokes that won’t offend some snowflake or another. Mel Brooks has said that he couldn’t have made Blazing Saddles today.

Indian chief scene from Blazing Saddles

Of course some probably find this offensive.

I also thought the ‘Schindler’s List’ episode of Seinfeld was pretty funny.

I am one of perhaps a dozen people in the English speaking world who has never watched "Seinfeld" but an episode about Schindler's List????

Yikes!

That was precisely my reaction.
It had some mildly funny portions, yet nothing that left me utterly howling with uncontrolled laughter.
It was a comedy bit that probably elicited a handful of laughs. Good for him.
