Okay, so to an extent I agree with what the author's saying. Trying to find a comedian that won't offend a single person in the crowd is ridiculous and isn't really something we should strive for. If a comedian does really well in front of a test audience, saying one thing that might possibly be offensive is a silly reason not to book them. And students who know that a particular comedian offends them shouldn't go to the show. But the circlejerk that literally all college students are sensitive and whiny is starting to get really old.
