Jake, I am Cuban by birth and was raised around Cubans and other Hispanics and Caribbean folks and I’ve learned from a lot of them to create our funny things even if annoys someone just a little. Cubans are excellent at that but never hurtful and we all kinda take things in stride anyway. My Father was serious but Mom and her family never stopped laughing. Jamaicans tend to be the same and funny things to laugh at.

IMHO, humor isn't meant to cater exclusively to the faint of heart. It's a whole spectrum of categories. The key is to know your audience, which I've never been too good at.

Back in the 80s, one of my favorite standup artists, George Wallace, told a joke related to Chrysler's then-popular "K" car (I paraphrase):

"Everybody knows about Chrysler's K car, but have you heard about their new KKK car?

No matter what color you buy, the hood's always white"
