<p>British actor and comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-cleese" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Cleese</a> said in a recent interview that people should not be afraid to publicly state that some cultures are superior to others.</p>
<p>Cleese, who made the remarks during an interview with a local magazine, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13374615/John-Cleese-says-Britons-not-frightened-say-cultures-superior-wrong-Muslims-want-sharia-law-enforced-UK.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;Race doesn&#8217;t matter, but culture does.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that some cultures are superior to others, and we should not be frightened to say so,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13374615/John-Cleese-says-Britons-not-frightened-say-cultures-superior-wrong-Muslims-want-sharia-law-enforced-UK.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;A society that goes in for female genital mutilation is abhorrent, and I happen to think that if people come to live in Britain, they should accept and adhere to our values.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I understand that some 20 percent of Muslims in the U.K. would like to see Sharia law, and I believe that&#8217;s wrong,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>He also defended a remark from several years ago that angered leftists when he said that &#8220;London was not really an English city any more.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That was not a racist remark,&#8221; he noted.</p>
<p>Cleese also garnered news headlines this week when he remarked about his comedy ahead of the stage adaptation of his “Fawlty Towers” show.</p>

<p>The play is based on three episodes of a multi-season sitcom that he wrote in 1975. One of the episodes was removed by UKTV because it contained “racial slurs,” Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2024/theater/global/fawlty-towers-john-cleese-stage-play-racial-slurs-1235989568/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>The episode was later reinstated after he attacked the decision and blasted those who believe in false revisionist history.</p>
<p>“Those scenes where the Major used a couple of words you can’t use now, racial slurs they would come under, we took them out,” he said. “There’s always a problem with comedy that you deal with the literal-minded. Whenever you’re doing comedy, you’re up against the literal-minded and the literal-minded don’t understand irony. And that means if you take them seriously, you get rid of a lot of comedy. Because literal-minded people don’t understand metaphor, irony, or comic exaggeration. People who are not literal-minded can see there’s various different interpretations, depending on different contexts.”</p>
