I think when it comes to Comedies touching prejudice as a topic is that it is all about the intent.

Like another example that I'd give is Eric Cartman in South Park, a hugely popular character for the Show who is every kind of ist or ism known to mankind, but it's clear that the Show's intent is to laugh at Cartman than with Cartman because the Show understands that his views are horrific in general, but imo is a fun character to watch.

One of the reasons why I find not just Comedy but TV in general so dull nowadays is because characters are too sanitised in what they can and can't do in terms of content.

I'm going off on a tangent here I know, but I watched Angel I think last year now, and some of the things that get said and actually happen in that programme would never get made today, but in some areas it would make the Show far less interesting to me at least.

Personally speaking if a Show came out tomorrow attacking white people in a serious manner I'd just not watch the programme, I don't understand this culture of wanting to censor everything.
