Yeah, if it's truly just an attempt to not admit your bigoted beliefs, then it's a fair callout. But there are also cases where the insulting bigoted comment joke is supposed to make fun of the people who actually hold those beliefs, and those are fair game.
I think they fairly qualified their joke to indicate that they are explicitly excluding sarcasm from the scenario.
Though agreed that a good sarcastic or sardonic joke can be a great callout.
