10 "Seinfeld" episodes that are racist and sexist in retrospect
share
I read somewhere recently that they wrote a joke where George asks if anyone had ever seen a black man order a salad in a restaurant, NBC said no way.
share I think the world is getting so touchy.
I loved Wings and there was an episode where Helen was going to name some of her menu items after her regular customers. She was going to give their names to their favorite dishes. She told the portly Roy that she was naming the big turkey leg for him.
He said that he wanted to be named after a salad. Helen asked him if he'd ever SEEN a salad. I guess it was okay because he was white. But today it would be verboten and deemed "fat shaming".
After looking over the Seinfeld list, I'm sure the world is getting touchy.
What was so sexist about looking at a woman's cleavage? That's what it's there for. lol Just kidding. But I'm a woman and I don't find it offensive. If women who dress that way think that men DON'T look, their brains are in their bras anyway.
But as Jerry told George, it's just a quick glance and you look away. It's like looking at the sun. Don't stare.
The guy who was offended because he was told that he looked like Sugar Ray Leonard was too touchy. Sugar Ray is a handsome man. How is that offensive? If I was a black man and someone said that I resembled Denzel Washington, I'd be overjoyed!
Probably a Roberto Duran fan...
shareGreat episodes. I think I'll use that list to go through my DVDs and show my own marathon at home.
shareThis list is ridiculous. In almost every case the premise of the respective episode was that something was wrong behavior. Actually: the whole show centers around 4 characters that are constantly doing things that aren't seen as social acceptable.
shareAs others have said, I'll be sure to queue these up first in my next re-watch! This sort of thing is absolutely ridiculous and I hate it with a passion; Not only that, but I lump it all in with the idiot practice of canceling the Confederacy...I'm not afraid to say it: Seinfeld is a hilarious, timeless, classic that will never be matched and Robert E. Lee was the greatest general!
shareis it true that the Puerto Rican Day Parade show can never be shown on TV???
