Racial. sexual and religious jokes have ALWAYS been the basis of her routine. It's not like she was a prop comic who all of a sudden decided to start saying "nigger".

I kinda agree with the imitators she's spawned but you find that in EVERY form of art. Eddie Murphy begat alot of the hacks on Def Comedy Jam. Radiohead begat Coldplay, Travis and other "sensetive" bands. And so on and so on.
