Should comedians have boundaries?

Oversimplifying an issue in order to justify bigotry while presenting it as comedy is absolutely omega behaviour.

All comedy is an oversimplification, if you would explain the world in it's complexities it wouldn't be funny. Instead you draw an essence, a simplification, to make fun of that.

In a sense, sure, but that still doesn't mean that it can or should be used as an excuse for bigotry. It's fine to oversimplify something for the sake of comedy when you're not 'punching down' on marginalized groups. There's a world of difference between the two.
