I think there are boundries when you are making fun of something that you are not a part of. For instance, I may make fun of my own family, but if someone else makes fun of my family, even if they are making fun of them for the same things i've made fun of them for, it's not the same thing. It's offensive. I can say whatever i like about my brother or my mom or my dad, but if someone else makes fun of them, I get very defensive.

The same is true for race or sexual orientation.

Like if you are a child of an immigrant family, maybe your parents have an accent, and you make jokes about your mom's accent. If someone else made fun of your moms accent it would be very different.

Is it a double standard? yes. But you can understand why. It's just how humans are.
