I think there is always a reason why someone finds something funny; people are just unwilling to examine it in depth because, exactly as you explained, it often kills the joke. And usually with humor, examination isn't necessary anyway because that's not the purpose of it, it's just meant to get a laugh.

However, when there is cultural baggage associated with the joke, you can't avoid examination because while something may legitimately be funny to you (humor is often subjective), it could also be legitimately hurtful to someone else. When there is potential for harm, it can't just be handwaived as "just a joke" anymore.
