With John Cleese being called a xenophobe, and a racist on Twitter, seems like it's headed towards that direction now.

I will still love the funny walks, and the fruits defense skits of his regardless. What are your favorite Monty Python skits?

Monty Python is still awesome. Who cares if some of the people involved are not perfect. That doesn't change that it's funny.

The Holy Grail holds up insanely well for a 30 something year old British comedy that's also basically a feature length single episode.

I agree. Personally, I don't care. But you know how things work nowadays. They took it as Cleese attacking the migrants.

i tried to watch that but they keep interrupting each other, and talking over each other, and i can't stand it.

and i don't see the big problem, it's no different than saying something like "New York isn't a Mohican tribe area anymore" or "Persia isn't an Alexander the Great country anymotr"

That's a bit of a copout. There are old people who don't say things like this.
Self-awareness, empathy, and a willingness to learn do seem to go down the older we get, but there are legitimately good old people in the world who don't say or do offensive things.

It was less of an excuse and more of a reminder.

Isn't he completely correct though? Immigrants are now a majority in London? Did he describe that as a positive, negative, or a neutral thing?

He's being attacked for his pro Brexit attitude. No one cares if he's correct or not.

It's also not really a fight worth having.

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly I thought he came out and clarified that it had nothing to do with the percentage of people in London who are natural born white British citizens. What he was talking about is the level of politeness and traditions in British culture that seems to have morphed, and I thought he said that that didn't make it bad it just made him nostalgic for the way the city used to be.
