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
More raw material? Why does a serious discussion of appropriation and representation preclude making fun of those same things? It’s just a creativity challenge. It is entirely possible that there can be substance to those debates and potential for humor in them.

Like I feel comfortable making the joke, “I’m going to appropriate me some tacos” at a Mexican restaurant. That’s a joke, but it doesn’t invalidate the idea of appropriation. And I wouldn’t make the joke in a context where it might trivialize a genuine appropriation concern.
