Julia Louis-Dreyfus says political correctness can be ‘fantastic’ after Jerry Seinfeld criticism
The Hill ^ | 06/10/2024 | FILIP TIMOTIJA

Emmy-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus said that political correctness can be “fantastic,” brushing off concerns on the controversial topic raised by former co-star Jerry Seinfeld.

During her interview with The New York Times, Louis-Dreyfus said having an “antenna” about sensitivities is not a “bad” thing, and that while she gets those who grumble about political correctness, she sees those complaints as a “red flag.”

“If you look back on comedy and drama both, let’s say 30 years ago, through the lens of today, you might find bits and pieces that don’t age well,” she told The Times during an interview published on Saturday.

Chilling.

I don't think her statement above about political correctness being "fantastic" will age well.

“Dreyfus said having an “antenna” about sensitivities is not a “bad” thing,“

In fact, it IS a bad thing. You are making judgements about what someone’s sensitivities might be. They think making judgements is bad, right?

Her father who died in 2016 was Gérard Louis-Dreyfus, a multibillionaire financier.

JLD is always quick to run to the defense of globalist liberal causes.

Political correctness began as the move to remove man and men from commonly used words. But it gave us the current iteration of fascism because a little is never enough for the left, and human nature is such that limits are always pushed. So, in effect, she’s a cheerleader for the fascism we see today.

And Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, both of which are deliciously politically incorrect.
