So what?
One of the greatest entertainers of the country I'm living in once said: "Every minority deserves a joke, too." (my translation)
Afterwards, when asked if he had limits: "People who cannot defend themselves. That would be to easy."
I'm skeptical about people being very "p.c.". That's often the same group bad mouthing when they assume only their (assumed) peers are listening.
- mellosouls 8mo agoIt depends whether its coming from a position of hate/ignorance and power or not. Here its clearly punching down without the first attempt to empathise and understand. What we are seeing here is so-called progressive (your "pc") comedians braying to the crowd; it's ugly and hypocritical.

But often, people don't seem to mind telling "easy" jokes... perhaps because they don't have the requisite wit to invent difficult ones. Minorities have their own jokes. They don't need you to invent ones for them. If you're close enough to members of the minority, they'll tell you the jokes. If you're not in on the existing jokes, it implies that you're not in a position to be making up ones for them.
