My biggest issue with blanket statements about any kind of contentious humour is the temerity such people have to assume everyone agrees. I get extremely irritated by "Jewish people don't find Holocaust jokes funny" for instance, because it assumes Jewish people are some kind of homogenous Borg-like collective. Some Jewish people may find these jokes offensive. Others won't. As a Jewish person myself, I have an insanely dark sense of humour, and for me, such a joke could well be funny. I think Nazi Germany deserves to be ridiculed for the absurd insane hatred that it was. Context is also important, as is intent and audience awareness. Not everyone telling jokes about such things are neo-Nazis, and being professionally offended on behalf of all Jewish people just pisses me off.

Great article by the way.
