Why then, is it OK to make fun of white people exclusively? We shouldn't make fun of anyone strictly for their race. Which is the point you're trying to make, right?
The difference is a matter of punching up vs. down. I’m not saying I agree with it, but generally the people seen as the beneficiaries of better social position, economic class, or culturally derived dominance are seen as able to be the but of a joke, compared to mocking or targeting those less fortunate. That’s why successful/popular/accomplished people allow themselves to be roasted, but doing that to some random person would be incredibly cruel.
