Why can comedians get away with racism when everyone else cannot?

Comedians do not "get away" with racism when everyone else cannot because racism is not socially acceptable and comedians may face severe criticism, boycotts, and backlash for expressing racist views. The perception that comedians have greater freedom of speech is often misunderstood. While they may use sarcasm, satire, and exaggeration to explore controversial topics, this does not imply endorsement of harmful views. Rather, they intend to challenge societal norms and provoke critical thinking through humor. However, any form of discrimination, including racism, should not be excused under the guise of comedy.
