Early 2000s entertainment too. A good portion of the edgy jokes could be considered funny because they were made on the assumption that "We can laugh about this, because we all know racism and sexism is bad, right?".

And then 2015ish happened and it became obvious that a lot of people weren't laughing AT the -isms but rather WITH.

EDIT: Which slur did Ross use, BTW? I haven't watched that show in eons, and I don't remember any.

Round of applause to Deep Space 9 for holding up after all these years, half that station was bi at the very least.
