This lovely article posted:

Speaking to the BBC, journalist Jon Ronson said that audiences no longer pick up on the nuances of jokes: “Nobody seems to be able to tell the difference between a racist joke and a liberal joke that comments on racism.”

This says more about the joke than the audience. If your biting racial commentary makes people think you're a racist write a better joke.

I don't know anyone who won't laugh at a legitimately funny racist joke. The problem is the punch like of most racist jokes is 'imagine a black guy'

There are throngs of people who will wilfully misinterpret a joke they understand the premise and context of in a quest for woke points

I remember when the extremely woke Daily Mail went after Stewart Lee for his Richard "not even a real hamster" Hammond routine despite him entirely dropping the act and speaking directly to them at the end of the bit http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1209921/What-prompted-comedians-tirade-old-schoolmate-Richard-Hammond.html

And every comedian I've ever seen complain about not being able to be offensive just wants to be able to be a bigot without people complaining. They never even bother trying to be offensive in an original or interesting way. Those that do actually think it through tend not to get flak for it because their punchlines tend not to be just saying something racist/sexist/homophobic/etc.
