I have been compared to Pinocchio. You could take offense at every single caricature or comparison, but what is the point? My landlord looks like a puffer fish. It's not something to be crying about. Trump is constantly mocked for his orangeness and I have done that too. It's not a big deal to ordinary people. It's a hue and cry on Twitter and within the establishment. I am sure most sensible people would sooner have the show continue and for people to quit being such snowflakes. I don't see DeNiro being blacklisted because he said he would like to punch Trump in the face. That is much worse than a jokey reference to someone looking vaguely like a character from a film.
So you are purposely ignoring the racist coonotations with the statement and Rosanne admitting it was wrong?
