Expectations of entertainment.
Although, in a way thats a good point. In the context of a comedy show a lot is let slide due to 'expectation of entertainment' when really a lot of these 'racist' drive-by one-liners probably arent that different, they're just in a 'media' context as opposed to an entertainment context.
Much like one poster noted above, he thought the same thing and made a joke about it to his wife, so what?
Some people arent trying to be offensive, they're just trying to be funny. What is or isnt funny is really in the eye of the beholder.
