DailyKenn.com — John Cleese, the renowned British comedian known for Fawlty Towers, has sparked controversy with his recent comments about cultures.
Cleese stated that "some cultures are superior to others, and we should not be frightened to say so."
He specifically criticized aspects of Islamic culture, saying that he believes it is "wrong" for 20% of Muslims in the UK to want Sharia law enforced.
Cleese also defended his previous comments that London is no longer an "English city," stating that this was "not a racist remark."
The 84-year-old actor has faced backlash for these remarks, which many have deemed as insensitive and intolerant.
However, Cleese has stood by his views, arguing that "race doesn't matter, but culture does."
He has also criticized the "literal-minded" viewers who fail to understand the nuances of comedy, leading to the removal of certain scenes from Fawlty Towers due to the use of racial slurs.
Despite the controversy, Cleese remains unapologetic about his opinions on culture and the state of modern comedy.
The upcoming stage adaptation of Fawlty Towers will include the infamous "Germans" episode that previously faced censorship.
