Attacking a regular public figure like the president or something wouldn't be offensive. But when that public figure is the leader of a person's religion, you are in effect attacking their system of beliefs. Whether they are pious or not, they have a right to be offended. Just because a person might not act in a stereotypical way for their ethnicity doesn't mean they can't be offended by racial jokes about stereotypes, or portrayal of stereotypes, etc. |
