“[In the past] you could joke about a bigot and have a laugh—that was hysterical. And it was about educating people on how ridiculous people were. And now we’re not allowed to do that.”

That’s right, you’re not. My friends and I did that all the time in the 90s, saying something racist to lampoon racism. But here’s the…
