One of the best comedy shows of all time and not even safe from millennials.

“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.

Seinfeld and Friends were a blot on the 90s. Neither had any racial diversity to speak of even though they were both supposed to occur in diverse NYC.

Lol... a perfect illustration of the thread's premise.

The "Indian giver" stuff is funny... odd that it never even occurred to me to think of "ticket scalping" in connection with Native Americans. The "soup Nazi"... it has nothing to do with neo-nazis or anything related to actual Nazis. How that made the top of Bustle's list is beyond me.

I know. Why don’t they just say current college students who were told by their studies professors that these jokes were supposed to be offensive? No one else on earth really cares.

As for the Indian Giver episode, it was basically a social justice message as I recall. And if Jewish people can make jokes about Nazis, then why are others upset about it? Especially since they claim anyone to the right of Nancy Pelosi is a Nazi.

I'm sure if you ask enough people someone will even claim the weather forecasts on TV are offensive.
