While unstated in the OP one of the facts is so many people
do choose to be entertained by this type of material. It's almost unsettling. I say almost because I have to wonder if the audience would be there regardless, you seem to be saying they're choosing this material... I say people aren't that picky. They say to themselves "I want to be entertained" and then as long as they're laughing, they don't care much about the content.
Let me put it this way: I don't think there would be a public outcry if comedians phased out racial or other minority-based humor, nor if BET dropped the B from it's name and went on with life.
I strongly disagree that leaving people to their bigotry-enhancing ways for "diversity" is what makes America great.
