Julia Louis-Dreyfus says comedians complaining about political correctness is a 'red flag': 'I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing.'
Yeah it’s subjective but you also have to read the room. Punching down has to have a narrative behind it that makes it seem like it’s not for it to be funny. Comedy, to me at least, is the art of bringing a truth to light.
Edit: Your joke is a decent platitude but it’s only funny with respect to “tell me a joke about starving kids”.

I don’t think it’s funny, but it definitely does happen.
