I think it is unfortunate that excessive political correctness is killing comedy and satire. Free speech is in the constitution, yet you can't make jokes that have even the slightest chance of offending some group somewhere. I think that people need to lighten up and not be offended so easily. Ethnic stereotypes and risqué jokes are a part of comedy and things would be pretty boring without them. Even tame humor by great comedians such as Benny Hill and Ray Stevens, (Ahab the Arab, The Streak, It's me again Margaret), probably would be considered offensive by today's standards. Even old Bugs Bunny cartoons are considered offensive! I hope that this correctness phase will pass and we will be able to enjoy some good comedy again.
