Comedy

Marget Cho is a prime example of someone getting away with offensive comedy. It happens everywhere in comedy. Many of our favorite comedians make fun of specific groups of people. Does being a comedian make it okay? And if we find these comedians funny are we giving in to the stereotyping and such? If a comedian also makes fun of themselves, does it mean it's okay to make fun of other groups of people? Comedy is weird in this way in my opinion. I guess Margret Cho uses a comedic approach to talking about her life. But do comedians like this seem to make targeting certain groups of people and making fun of them or stereotyping them okay? Are we agreeing by watching?
