It's still acceptable for a comedia to say to say demeaning things about gay, black, indians, asians, jews, whites, WASPs etc -- including rape victims, terrorism survivors, heroes, politicans, babies, etc.

That's what comedians do. Listen to Louis C.K (or anyone, really).

>Michael Richards is a comedian, and made anti-Semitic remarks that resulted in a significant backlash

Depends if he made them as part of a comedic routine or not. And actually even when part of a routine, depends if they were told as genuine preaching / ranting, or just for the comedic effect / exaggeration / black humor of it.
