If you wont' watch a Chappelle show episode, how would YOU know what kind of jokes he makes? For your information, he makes racially-related jokes, but doesn't "dig on whitey." I also don't think Mencia makes (for the most part) racial-hatred jokes, he's usually making fun of racial stereotypes.
Imus wasn't being clever, he was just being racist. There's a difference between making fun of a stereotype and perpetuating it.
I'm not a big fan of the same kind of humor when it comes to gender, either. I am being consistent. I HATE the kind of standup that goes, "Oh, you know how women are. They're always doing X, Y and Z. And you know dudes are different, they're always doing A, B, and C."
