E.g Randy Marsh on a game show with the letters "N_ggers" and the clue "people who annoy you" (the right answer being "Naggers", heh)... And he gleefully shouts out the "N word".

I have only ever heard the N word uttered on South Park by the Chef. Who is black. Is it offensive? Not particularly to me, but it might be to a black person, you'd have to ask them
In my opinion the Randy Marsh thing is quite mild but again, you'd have to ask a black person if they thought it was offensive.
Neither of these things make light of six million people being murdered.
My Dad used to laugh at Alf Garnet, not because he thought being a racist was clever and funny, but because Warren Mitchell (Jew, incidentally...) was always shown to be the bigot he was... and it was funny. This issue isn't like that. Not at all. And as a Jew I am offended and no amount of explanation from a non-Jew, and the fact that some non-Jews find it acceptable will convince me otherwise.
