Writer or the Written?

Does the writer always agree with what he writes? Or is he just trying to make some money? I think he has to do what is in the best interest of his company and the money he can make. If he writes about a Chinese person that can't drive, it doesn't mean that he seriously believes all Asians can't drive (even if it is a proven fact), but it means that he knows everyone will laugh about that. He writes it not with the intent to be vicious and mean, but it is so that he can get people to laugh. However, I think writers should be held responsible for what they write. If they write something with the intent of making fun of someone, they have to be held responsible for that. I don't think we can say that every joke that might be demeaning is meant to hurt someone.
