Well, if you go back to the jokes that originally got people in an uproar, the joke basically was that they are annoying, but to each other. It was very much "stereotype" humor, which, if you watched his show or earlier stand up, was Dave's bread and butter.

Yes. His entire shtick his entire career has been playing the heel. Saying the things no one else would say because they'd get backlash. Thats what he built his entire career on.

If he catches wind that a few people got offended by his jokes, his first and only response is always going to be to double down on that. If in the early 2000s someone got offended at one of his race jokes, he would absolutely not stop making them.

Now if you think that makes him of lesser character than others I won't fault you for saying that. But it is consistent.
