Context: A Comedy Central Roast.
At this event, I'm quite certain offensive jokes based on stereotypes are allowed by anyone on stage. As for racial slurs, I'm not sure. Maybe they are okay if they contribute to a joke in a way other than simply shocking the audience (puns and rhymes for example might require a certain slur). That said, the quote I brought up didn't have any straight up slurs, so I'm not sure if the presence or absence of slurs being acceptable (by people other than the demographic the slur refers to) is relevant.
