Yes you can definitely make something like Blazing Saddles today! But the main obstacle isn't snowflakes (lol) it's that not many comedians match up to Mel Brooks or Richard Pryor. At worst it might be more difficult for a white guy to make it (I've seen lots of satire from black comedians that's more raw and uncomfortable then anything in Blazing Saddles) but if he was smart and was making fun of the racism it would be fine. Your girlfriend is the exception. I bet it would get more backlash from people who like to pretend racism doesn't exist then supposed liberal snowflakes.
