I think it all depends on the context. A comedy show is a comedy show. People are always looking for ways to feel offended.

- jsmthrowaway 11y agoIn this case, the quote omitted the context of archetypes and specific people, namely George W. Bush, that Chapelle was very obviously satirizing. I say very obviously, because it wasn't a nuanced depiction: the skit was literally described as him being black Bush, and he was in a suit behind the POTUS podium, addressing the media. Removing the context from that and hitting Chapelle for it is just a convenient target.
