Oh, It's parody racism. Like how mad men is parody sexism?

No, that's a bullshit argument from garbage people.

With respect if that's your only argument it's not one that I find very compelling.

And no, it's not parody racism. It's a comedy, about racism, where the characters who are racist are clearly wrong and the butt of the jokes. Do you think there shouldn't be any comedy about racism? Because if there is, I'm not sure what a better way to do it is.

There's parody, and then there's commentary. Commentary can coincide with parody, but they're not fundamentally the same thing.

Commentary is the aspect of Blazing Saddles that you appear to have been blind to.

Mad Men wasn't parody sexism. The 1950s and 60s were chock full of full blown sexism, which the show accurately depicted. Things were way worse for women even just 50 years ago.

But I think you really missed the point of Blazing Saddles as a whole.
