As mentioned earlier, there exists this whole line of thought that white people (apparently all of them) cannot be discrimminated against by minorities essentially because white people did the majority of the discrimminating in recent history. Personally, I think this is hogwash because discrimmination based on a stereotype is all the same to me and the mocking of one class or type of person is equally hateful if put forth in that manner. I do think, however, humor is allowed in this area a la Rosie, who certainly was not being anything hateful at all.
The line drawing though is funny to me because black people can be as racist as they want to each other and white people and it's all fine and dandy. It does not work the other way though. Maybe one day that will not be so and I think we will be the better for it.
