Ouch! That’s very funny. Sounds like Mel.

“We’ll take the African-Americans, the Mexicans and the Chinese but we don’t want the IRISH.”

Just not as funny as the original.

That line was funny because it reversed the racism. But the democrat party has since transitioned from a white racist party to a black racist party. So that line is no longer funny.

To the left, the term "politically correct" means: Anything with no perverted sexual references and 40 'F'-bombs in it.

It's the only "comedy" they know how to make anymore.

Blazing Saddles played at Alamo Drafthouse cinema not long after Gene Wilder’s death. Based on the reaction I suspect that a few in the large audience had never seen the uncut version before. What a shock for tender politically correct ears that film is now!

The controllers telling you what is funny and what is not, black comics can use the f bomb and the n word, rag on gays and lesbians, rag on white people and this is seen by the liberal progressive whites as ok and funny.
