"Look, not every joke lands. And sometimes comedians just end up being bullies when they repeatedly pick on one ethic or religious group and clearly are trying to actually denigrate a group of people rather than make light of our differences. I won’t defend everything any comedian anywhere has done, and our tastes provide a natural limitation to what a comic should say or do.
But we’re not making the world any more tolerant trying to rid the world of jokes about race, ethnicity, culture, or controversial topics. Humor is often the way we get through the day without just going crazy about these things. Comedians are the pressure valve of our society, and we should be very wary about shutting it off."
