When a joke goes after someone’s personal identity — their race, their gender, their sexual orientation, their physical attributes — they themselves become the joke.

Well, in that case, he'd better not watch anything by Don Rickles (RIP).

The jokes involving People of Color are usually based around that person’s color, whereas none of the jokes involving White characters specifically involve them being White.

Fine. Go watch The Jeffersons.

I always thought that George Jefferson disapproving of the Willis interracial marriage and calling Jenny a “zebra” was just for laughs, but later came to learn that there really is some hostility to such marriages and biracial children in the black community. They must have been so conflicted regarding Obozo - do we like him or disapprove of him? A dilemma for some, I’m sure.
