The only things which should be taken off the table are calls to violence. Otherwise, every single type of person should be mocked and laughed at, if that's the kind of "comedy" they want to produce...

White Chicks is great. I'm not gonna play the "whatabout" game, if people find White Chicks offensive they're free to petition whatever platforms it's on, and ask them to remove it.
