well......paedo jokes are allowed because the incidence rates of paedophilia are perceived to be so low that it's unlikely that anyone here is guilty. rape is more common, and there is controversy with rape jokes as well as the racial ones. death, though, is universal. if i make a diana car crash joke, i do so fully knowing that after i gack, someone might well make a joke about me (and let's face it, those sort of jokes are more at the expense of celebrity that they are about her).
racism's just too invisible and is (and is perceived as) far more common than most other societal trauma, so it's a touchier subject to deal with.
