| Now Monty Python Is Racist or Something |
| 2018-07-07 |
| h/t Instapundit [PJMedia] ...Now it's 2018, so Monty Python stinks because they're all middle-class white males and most of them aren't LGBTQRSTUV. A fellow named Shane Allen works for the BBC in the capacity of "Controller, Comedy Commissioning, Television." Which sounds like a job title right out of a Python sketch. Recently, Allen explained the Beeb's new diversity push, insisting that Monty Python is a thing of the past: "If you're going to assemble a team now it’s not going to be six Oxbridge white blokes. It’s going to be a diverse range of people who reflect the modern world." The one thing "Modern World" (apparently) doesn't need or wants is talent ...John Cleese said: BBC's Head of Comedy puts Monty Python's lack of originality down to a surfeit of education and racist bias Unfair ! We were remarkably diverse FOR OUR TIME We had three grammar-school boys, one a poof, and Gilliam, though not actually black, was a Yank. And NO slave-owners ...And Terry Gilliam was even more blunt: "It made me cry: the idea that ... no longer six white Oxbridge men can make a comedy show," he said. "Now we need one of this, one of that, everybody represented... this is bullshit. I no longer want to be a white male, I don’t want to be blamed for everything wrong in the world: I tell the world now I’m a black lesbian... My name is Loretta and I’m a BLT, a black lesbian in transition." |

| #4 There are some who say BBC destroyed the chemistry of the beloved Springwatch show when they introduced a black female a year ago or so and marginalized a long-time white male member of the popular show, all in the name of diversity. To be fair, the female does possess the education background. But, was she a dud as part of the show? Yes. Not the same show. |

| #3 That's what was great about Monty Python. Everybody was offended by something in each episode. |
