Faster than C – this is explained in the FAQ as most C programs being single threaded and ANI being inherently multithreaded.

Furthermore, there's tons and tons of parallel C code. Probably more than any other language. Almost any decent C library is reentrant. Many of major C projects (mostly thinking of server software and operating system kernels) are threaded.
That there's "tons and tons of parallel C code" doesn't matter.
Parallelization is built-in into this language. It is not built-in, as a first class language feature, in C.
A lot of C projects, such as servers, are indeed threaded, but threads are also so last century.
Different paradigms (like in Erlang) are better to parallelize, easier to write, more performant, and much much less confusing to debug than threads. Heck, even no-side-effects functional language programming is better to parallelize than C with threads.
in terms of South Park it is a Chewbacca argument. Another example of it would be - "C is smarter than Python because most of programs in C is smarter than ones in Python." (C and Python choosen randomly as i have no idea about Python :)
