When asked about the gender diversity in his show, Seinfeld replied, “People think it’s the census or something? This has gotta represent the actual pie chart of America? Who cares? Funny is the world that I live in. You’re funny, I’m interested. You’re not funny, I’m not interested. I have no interest in gender or race or anything like that... to me it’s anti-comedy. It’s more about PC-nonsense than ‘Are you making us laugh?’ or not?”

Whoda thunk it? A show about ‘absolutely nothing!’ Mindless, childless at times, unequivocally selfish mundane interaction. Brilliant.

My favorite episode was the “backwards episode”. Positively groundbreaking.

Guarantee Seinfeld is a lib, except where his own money is concerned. The left is eating its own because it thinks it’s won.

Another reason to looove the Sein.

Recall the wonderful cigar-store Indian episode, which BTW is hardly shown now.

“People ask me, ‘which way is Isreal?’, I don’t fly off the handle!”

I thought Jews got a pass. I guess he doesn’t, if he says the wrong thing.

I hope Seinfeld never apologizes. Please.

Why would Steinfeld want or need any Black people for his type of comedy... Which is called lame white boy observational comedy. Black would be wise to steer clear but the money is good to be associated with Steinfeld. In one of his acts

Good for Seinfeld.

Seinfeld TV show was on the mark about half the time. The rest was pretty hard to bear.

“Seinfeld” was about fearful NY Liberals. Not funny, not ground-breaking, not inventive. Annoying. Pitiable. Like spending a weekend with my extended family. More torture than anything else.

If anything is striking about this incident, it’s not the attacks on Seinfeld – who only a few months ago, by the way, said on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee that his “Mount Rushmore” of stand-ups would consist of Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, George Carlin, and Don Rickles (two blacks, two whites). No, the attacks are just the usual multicultural claptrap. What was striking – and gratifying, and heartening – were Seinfeld’s original remarks about “PC nonsense” – which, considering that they came from a man who is still the top-earning comedian in the U.S., raised expectations that the growing impatience of influential cultural figures with the poisonous influence of political correctness may yet help bring an end to the madness.

Seinfeld's got a pair... ya gotta give him that...

Jerry Seinfeld is an Anti-Dentite!

He wants them to go to their own schools!

Political Correctness has the power to DESTROY comedy.

Seinfeld is astute enough to recognize this.

When he went on his little rant against Lady Gaga a couple
of years ago, I figured Jerry had the makings of a pretty decent Conservative if he were to be sufficiently mugged.

IF............ Seinfeld is not FUNNY.... no one is..

Liberalism is indeed “ENVY” incarnate..
His humor is (unusually) squeaky clean and non threatening..

Whatever liberals DO is most often based in “ENVY”...
There is a lot to be “ENVIOUS OF” in Jerry Seinfeld..

I would be surprised IF the attitude of this article WAS NOT present..

Yet no mention of the disproportionate number of Jewish comics. I mean, if we’re gonna have quotas, then we should have quotas, right? Where’s the criticism of Seinfeld for that?

Well of course not. It’s not PC. Gotta go after those easy white boy targets.

Its not about parity with whites. Maybe it once was but that is no longer the goal.

Its about superiority over whites.

Anyone who doubts this isn't paying close enough attention.
