Does that mean you cannot joke about those groups, even if the joke has nothing to do with specific characteristic?

Calling on your reserves of empathy and common-sense might help in answering your question.

When did calling out lame jokes become a sign of being offended?

That would rule out all jokes which take the piss, even Male Toffs have feelings, even some on here may have feelings
