May not be your cup of tea

pun intended, but I always enjoyed Monty Python's typical english dry sense of humor.  Sounds like Terry Gilliam has had enough.  I'm sure they'll be an outrage.  lol https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/jul/04/terry-gilliam-on-diversity-bbc-monty-python-black-lesbian

Loved the quote from John Cleese (I'm also a big fan of Monty Python, and British comedy in general):

Quote
John Cleese’s angry response to Allen’s comment, who tweeted:
“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.”

It all makes perfect sense.
In Marxian speak "Peace" means the absence of political opposition to Marxist (socialist/progressive/liberal) theology, "Inclusiveness" means excluding Conservatives, regardless of color or gender,   and "Tolerance" means tolerating only Marxist theology.

FB, Twitter, Google, CNN, NBC, CBS, PBS, WaPo, WSJ, the Deep State, etc., make that abundantly clear.
