I wouldn't call it homophobic, but there are a few jokes that haven't aged super gracefully. Mostly related to Joey's character from what I remember (I just rewatched it on Netflix last year).

Think of it -- that would have been like if we went to see Bob Hope on campus -- it wouldn't have happened.

He doesn't play the campus because it doesn't pay enough -- not a big enough venue...and the kids don't care for his humor.

And I would argue it isn't those young people who don't watch tv, who don't listen to radio and who don't care about the older comics who are concerned about the content in each of those.
Money isn't the reason why and college kids are way to PC.

That's actually a pretty common word in some Asian communities in CA (source: many Asian friends).

It's certainly only used with each other, and generally used to mock newer immigrants (generally in a playful way from what I've observed).

“Seinfeld” might offend young people, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Millennial-focused website Bustle is taking heat for publishing a listicle that examines all the reasons why “Seinfeld” would be a little too edgy in the modern climate of policing everything that isn’t deemed politically correct.

You should be a little less condescending toward young people. At some point they will be deciding YOUR future.

Asians love referring to newer asian immigrants this way.

The term I often here is FOB.

From what i've observed it doesn't sound like there's ill will behind it.

Say what?? Who?? A guest spot now and then? Which world are you living in? I NEVER watched those disgusting shows throughout the 90s. There were better things to watch and do. The 90s were not the 50s. In a place like NYC, there was representation from other races.

Brian Flood of Fox News you have written an absurd piece. At no time have I considered Seinfeld skits offensive. Kramer was funny most of the time as well as Newman.
-------- Flood! No soup for you one year.

People going to see Seinfeld would NOT be college students.
