So it's satire of the excuses used to defend bad satire? I suppose that's the only way to get past the "but it's satire" crowd.

Yeah, kind of.

For example his first "comedy bit" is in a fictional sketch comedy show presented by a comedian who's an immigrant and the sketches consist of that comedian donning various costumes and making fun of immigrants. (Inspired by real comedians whose main topic is their own and other immigrant's heritage.) Then it's Hitler's turn and he gives a speech saying that he thinks it's shameful that today you can only make fun of minorities if you yourself belong to that minority. Everyone should be free to express their racist prejudices. And the critics later applaud him for "pointing out that racist stereotypes are still racist stereotypes even when embodied by somebody belonging to the stereotyped minority."

So I'd say the real criticism in this case is actually what Vermes made the critics write. That comedians like Kaya Yanar, who has Turkish immigrant parents shouldn't throw other immigrants under the bus by entertaining non-immigrant Germans with stereotypes about immigrants.

But of course that's not what Hitler actually wanted to express. His thought was more along the lines of a white person crying about oppression because he's not allowed to say the N-word...
