There is a simple solution....just frigging well ban comedy......
No one is allowed to laugh at anyone because someone might get offended, and if they get offended we may have seriously think about changing the way thing are done, so as that we do not offend anyone anywhere ever.... aaaaahhhhhhhh!
You are too late - many areas are no go for comedians and not only bans, but prison time is the risk if you make jokes about certain subjects. Just ask Dieudonne. As with most things in the current world, certain groups get to choose what is offensive based on who says it.

Whoopi didn't seem to mind, but she was protecting her friend.
There were also black people in attendance that had zero issue with it since they understood it was a roast and over the line humor is common:
Black model Beverly Johnson also defended Danson's performance:
"If you can't see the humor at a place where there's supposed to be over-the-line jokes, then there's something really wrong."
People are far too sensitive. If they do not like off color humor then do not watch these roasts. If it gets them all trigger-y and makes someone want to find the nearest safe space perhaps knock-knock jokes are more their speed.

This is what roasts were all about.

So if you turn up without knowing you are going to be made fun of and told to kill yourself, then it's your fault for turning up?
Confused...

She was ambushed - and there is no excuse for telling a woman, ever, that she should kill herself (just among many other offensive comments).

Yes.
If you show up at a "Roast" without realizing that something like that might be said to you, then yes, it's your fault.
It's a Roast FFS. Anyone there is a Target. If you don't know that then you don't know what a Roast is.

As long as there is a level playing field, then everyone can be judged the same way - no need for left / right divisions.
