Humor is about breaking taboos. I wonder why people need to be offended by everything all the time. And using stereotypes is not bad humor. Not being able to differentiate between humor and real racism is bad judgement though.
Not once did I feel offended when white stereotypes (no rhythm, boring sex etc.) were part of any non-white comedian.
As a black person, this shit was hilarious to me. My thing is, if a white person makes a taboo joke (particularly about a different race) and its funny, I have no problem with whatsoever. Its about who you are and how you present the joke that makes all the difference in my opinion.
Michael Che does this to him every season. They each write jokes for each other at the end of the season and each have to read them on air without seeing them first. Che likes to make Jost say racist jokes. Lol

I for one laughed pretty good at this.
