from his perspective as a black person, every single target is "punching upwards" and thus should be funny and fair game. not that it's easy to even compare the plight of the average LGBTQ+ or Jewish person to the average black person, but you'd think he would know that even at best punching sideways isn't going to be as universally appealing as his earlier material. but I guess $60 million in the bank tends to do that to your world view.
