Trevor Noah proves that the people saying "we can't make jokes anymore because everyone gets offended so easily!" really just wanted license to continue being openly racist, sexist, and anti-LGBTQ+. But let's say you only have license to really savage your own gender, race, and sexual orientation. Holy hell, as a white cis-hetero male, I once again find myself at an advantage. Caught a few minutes of a recent Chappelle's stand-up set, and it was... yikes. It's only funny to one political bent; Fascists and fascist-adjacents. What a disappointing career trajectory.
