    "I am who I am," the 78-year-old comedy icon told CBS Sunday Morning.
    "And I like where— who I am. I don’t care. And it’s part of me that
    I don’t care. And I’ve thought about that a lot. And I don’t know
    what to tell you, man. I just don’t care.”

    I would expect most people of his age don't care that much what other
    people think of them. Though with Chevy I think he's always been that
    way.

    The outcry against Chase isn't because he's a jerk. Its because he's apparently a raving fanatical racist in the best tradition of
    Confederate slave owners.

    I’m not shocked that he’s totally cool with being a huge a-hole. I’m shocked that anyone still finds him relevant enough to be interviewed on TV.

    Afaics, he ragged on a black co-star, to his face. Is there other
    evidence of his "racism"?

    He speaks his mind because he can get away with it. In all paranoia
    there is a kernel of truth; in all racism, there is a self-righteous intolerance.

    If I told you what I think, you would call me a racist even though I
    lived with and almost married a Black woman with her two children in
    the early 1980s. She was among the best of the best and not the worst
    of the worst. Black and White and Red all over.

    Telling people "what we think" is often overrated...

    The truth about Chase is that he’d desperately like to work again but no one will hire him. Abusive and bitter right to the end, he has torched every bridge in the business and bitten every hand that has reached out save him from his misanthropic self. So Chevy doesn’t care what people think about him? Not to worry, because people long ago stopped thinking about Chevy Chase at all.

    I certainly don't agree, for people who would desperately like to work
    again suck up. They don't keep burning bridges.

    I think he's always let his emotions get the best of him. Then he gets
    bitter and resentful that people don't want to work with him for his
    past behavior, and then he declares that he doesn't care. He's never
    truly desperate enough to work that he's willing to force himself to
    behave like a professional while on set.
