I do believe context is extremely important with words like those used long ago supposedly by Paula Dean. This seems to be more about marketing than about injustice and discrimination.
Comedians say stuff to one another and to audiences that would never pass in polite society. The Aristocrats joke for instance. I really doubt if even the most offensive comedian say would sound off at an occasion like a funeral, graduation, elementary dance recital especially if these involved members of their own family. Maybe they would be they would also hardly be surprised by the consequences.
