Julia Louis-Dreyfus believes that political correctness is positive in comedy.

In a new interview with The New York Times, Louis-Dreyfus was asked to react to a new landscape of more politically correct comedy, particularly comments made recently by her Seinfeld co-star Jerry Seinfeld - which landed him in widespread headlines.

"Looking back at both comedy and drama, 30 years ago, through the lens of today, you might find bits and pieces that don't age well. And I think it's not a bad thing to have an antenna about sensitivity," the actress said.

"That doesn't mean all comedy goes out the window as a result. I understand when I hear people start complaining about political correctness and why people might push it back, but to me it's a red flag.Because it sometimes means something else. I believe it's not a bad thing to recognize a particular sensitivity. I don't know any other way to say it.

In a recent interview with The New Yorker, Seinfeld said that people "always need" comedy, even in dark times (or especially), and claimed that they haven't gotten it these days.

"This is the extreme left and the P.C.It's the result of crap, and people are so worried about making others angry," Seinfeld said. "Now they're going to watch stand-up comics because we're not cracking down on anyone. The audience polices us. We know when we are out of orbit. We know instantly and we adjust to it instantly. But when you write a script and it goes into 4 or 5 different hands, committees, groups — "Here's our thoughts about this joke."Well, that's the end of your comedy.

Later in her New York Times interview, Louis-Dreyfus said, "My feelings about it are clearly great for political correctness as long as it equals tolerance and of course I reserve the right to boo those who say something that offends me, while also respecting the right to free speech." ,, right?

She explained that she feels that the real "threat to art" these days is not political correctness, but "the integration of money and power" and "the silos of studios and outlets, streamers and distributors.""
