"I’m tired of being, as a white male, blamed for everything that’s wrong in the world," he says. But he's missing that white men have been running the world, and running it in a way that favored other white men. Or rather, dis-favored everybody who wasn't a white man. That didn't give him success, but it did mean that success was a possibility that it wouldn't have been for many others.
So Terry, just shake it off, right? You got blamed for stuff you didn't do. We'll all just have a good laugh about it, ok?
To be fair here, once you go past the well known handful of sketches, python did their fair share of punching down that makes some of their episodes difficult to watch today.
