Well said, Kay. I hope you sent this to SNL. While I haven't yet seen last week's Update, the annual Joke Swap has become increasingly based only on cringeworthy racist tropes. If the writers are as good as I think they are, they can--and should--do better. I think they mistake the show's more progressive nature for an opportunity to be "ironically" racist, but racism is still racism.
