Oh look, more "jokes" vice.com/en_us/article/…
The thing about hiring people who have said racist things (or misogynist, transphobic, etc) is that you're not just sending a message about what you find acceptable - for a place like SNL, you're sending a message about who you think your audience is.
Like when The Atlantic hired Kevin Williamson (who said women who have abortions should be hung) - they were telling their female readership that they didn't give a shit about them, that the magazine wasn't really *for* them. That's what SNL is doing here.
