In the Social Justice Army's constant pursuit of ruining everything that is fun in life another iconic show, arguably one of the most successful of all time has been declared insensitive, oppressive, and offensive.
Among the various reasons why this show is too offensive to be watched by anyone is that there are too many white people on the show. That most of the time, the episodes contain only Jerry and his other white friends. As if it was that unusual for people who constitute nearly 70% of the population to be primarily white. This isn't terribly surprising to hear this brought up because some people just have to make everything about race.
One of the things they focus on quite a lot just happens to be from one of the most beloved episodes of the entire series: The one that focuses on "the soup nazi." I bet you can't guess why they thought this episode was offensive! It is because the person depicted as the soup Nazi is not a white person. Let's forget about the fact that the character is based on a real life person named Ali "Al" Yeganeh, who is Persian. However, this just infuriated the SJW's even more because the actor who played the soup Nazi is Larry Thomas, who is of Russian and Romanian background.
Another episode featured a cigar store Indian and this was deemed "racist" despite the fact that the entire episode is about Jerry and his friends trying really hard to not use any insensitive language when referring to the statue or any thing Native-American related. I mean the entire episode is basically a PSA for using appropriate language in order to not hurt anyone's feelings... but this wasn't good enough for the perpetually offended masses.
This is the famous Soup Nazi skit. You be the judge: Is it in any way offensive to anyone? Or is it just a joke? I can not get on board with these judgemental people that are so privileged that they can't find enough to be offended by today so they dig 20 years in the past desperately searching for something to whine about. I really find them to be the most irritating part of life today. Consequently Jerry himself blames young people for making everything so sensitive these days and this is the reason why he refuses to do any comedy shows in college towns or on college campuses.
