A Haunted House: White People Portrayal

In the film A Haunted House portrays white people as the less intelligent and uncomfortable people. In several scenes of the film a white couple is portrayed as "swingers" which is a term for sexual partners that are frowned upon in several communities. In another scene a pair of "paranormal investigators" are involved to solve the case of the ghost but are shown as unintelligent and inappropriate  In one more additional scene a physchic is hired and is portrayed as a homosexual towards the main male actor. Although the purpose of the film is to be humerous, it can be seen as negative and offensive toward the white race and gay community. Personally i find this film very humorous as the message intends although others may find it offensive possibly such as anyone who is a homosexual or white. Although it is intended to express this film's genre as funny, is it alright to make jokes about topics such as these even if its not taken seriously?
