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.

And a number of gay folks worked on those shows at the time as well. Supporting crew. And the Sheldon actor, unfortunately I know this fact.

Sheldon actor? Who was that?

[HandyDandy]

Woke equals politically correct lawfare.

I wonder if she’d like political correctness as much if the ‘unwritten rules’ were ‘you can’t speak badly of Trump or his supporters, or gun owners or Christians...

[Secret Agent Man]

The guy who played Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory. He pitches for the other team.

[dfwgator]

I think he catches.

DOH! I'm slapping my forehead! I was fixated on Sienfeld and thought you were talking about a Sienfeld character. Since I brought up Big Bang Theory, I should have known who you were speaking of.

And speaking of the actor who played that character - hell, it was obvious from the start he is a homosexual. My GAYDAR pinged in the red zone as soon as I saw him.
