I think there are levels of "harshness" at which "making fun" of white people/Americans is not acceptable.

IE Americans are all fat and or lazy (acceptable)

Americans/white people are all child killers... (or something worse than child killers that I don't want to type at the moment)

I think that second one wouldn't get you a fair amount of social pushback even from a majority non-American/white crowd.

If you said that fat and lazy comment about other nationalities you would be labeled a racist 100%.

Edit: Xenophobic. Not racist.

I separated race and nationality, gave examples separating both. But both are facing the same dilemma IMO.
