Jerry Seinfeld had a lot of people talking with his opinion on diversity recently.

Accusations that Jerry Seinfeld is a racist have surfaced due to the comedian's remark during his interview with CBS.

As he spoke of diversity, the comedian stated, "People think comedy is the census or something. It's gotta represent the actual pie chart of America. Who cares? Funny is the world I live in."

The "Seinfeld" star was reportedly commenting on the criticism about how the first 10 episodes of his web show, "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," only featured white males. His guest list initially spurred accusations of the comedian being racist.

The 59-year-old comedian stated that this criticism towards the show's lack of diversity is "PC nonsense."

According to TIME, The iconic comedian went on to say that the subject of diversity itself is "anticomedy" because it focuses on something other than whether or not a person is funny.

As Jerry Seinfeld racist rumors circulate, the star of the hit '90s TV show is preparing to perform at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota on March 7.

There is talk that there's possibility of a mini "Seinfeld" reunion because John O'Hurley will finish up a run of "Chicago" this week at Van Wezel as well.

Hopefully the two friends' paths will cross.

The opportunity to become Jerry Seinfeld has arisen with the incredible Oculus Rift project that's been circulating the Internet.

The new Oculus Rift project called "Jerry's Place" will allow fans to walk around Jerry Seinfeld's famous apartment from the show.

Gamespot.com reported that creator Greg Miller created "Jerry's Place" in the course of one month and made sure to put 11 references to various episodes hidden throughout the entire apartment.

In regards to creating the virtual space, Miller stated, "I tried to be faithful to the show's original props and its era, but some things were near impossible to Google. I did a lot of research and tried to find images of the original products used in the show and modeled around those dimensions, rather than relying solely on blurry screenshots."

You'll need an Oculus Rift development kit in order to experience "Jerry's Place," but keep in mind that creator Palmer Luckey wants the headset to be "affordable."
