Explicitly saying the Jews are vermin earns a note and not a Warning. WTF?

I’m posting what I said in the pit thread about this:

@Lobohan

So I’m guessing it’s the older posters who don’t get that it was a joke, right?

Remember when your parents got angry at Lenny Bruce for being a potty mouth? This is like the same thing. Edgy satire of racism is okay now. Watch Tosh.0 or really any modern comedian.

Do you think Colbert is really racist against Chinese people?

@Lobohan

It holds a candle to actual racism, by framing the real racist, or in this case anti-Semite as a buffoon.

You may not find it funny, but it is on some level, if you’ve ever seen natural bismuth.

It’s just meta-humor where racist things are said absurdly. Note that just because it doesn’t pass your test as humor, doesn’t mean that it isn’t a joke.
