A good measure of cultural fragmentation is how far on average a joke has to travel out of context for it to cause offense When jokes hit a mean free path of one degree on social graph you’ve hit anarchy
Having to be self-aware enough to do a context-check before making a joke is not an anti-humor culture. It’s a level-up because it allows more people the same freedom. If your relationship depth in the context allows you to make a joke, by all means do so.

My original cultural fragmentation point is actually a relationship depth point. We inhabit smaller and smaller micromilieus where we have enough relationship capital depth to be uninhibited in our humor. This is a relating skills problem not a humor problem. Context collapse.

If you previously only had white and black segregated audiences, there are now non-segregated crowds in comedy clubs, you either continue making in-group racist jokes and complain about lost sense of humor, or you level up and deepen your relationships with new *mixed* audience
