I still think that the best way to ignore and exclude a group is to stop making jokes about them. That said, the jokes on that show might even have been moderately funny in the beginning, but they've been done too often to still work. Not everything works as a running gag.

This is downright stupid

"I still think that the best way to ignore and exclude a group is to stop making jokes about them"

Oh, so that's why people made jokes about me and other people with my mental issues? They're trying to include me?

Sorry, that's not how it works.

I never said that people who make jokes about minorities are doing it to be inclusive (please try reading what someone writes and not what you think they could have meant by it). The point is: Every group and subgroup gets joked about sometime. That's actually pretty normal. Once you stop joking about a group because you're trying to be pc, you're erasing them even more than they already are. By treating them any different than all other groups, you're othering them even more. It's not a problem to joke about some things, it's the way a joke is done that's the problem. Not all jokes are made to put people down and attack them.
