Matt and Trey got sick of doing the show ten years ago, and have been overtly trying to get cancelled.
It just doesn't happen, ever.

In part because it is a MASSIVE cultural icon. Very few shows have the clout of South Park.

Also Trey and Matt don't really care about what people think.

You can't cancel people who don't care if they're "canceled." They're never going to post some mopey "apology" on Twitter about how they're sorry and they're going to do better in the future.

Trying to get South Park cancelled would only result in an episode of South Park making fun of the fact that attempts were made to cancel them.

Just wait until the season starts. The canceling is at its peak right now so just wait until they give their opinion on current events that will result in the canceling.

South Park's bullet proof. Hell the last season was basically all about them trying to get canceled.

Plus if they ever really offend anyone, they just double down harder. If it wasn't funny the majority of the time, I can see something maybe getting them taken down eventually, but I'm shocked at how good the show still is after all this time.

I know American public schools are a failure. But don't tell me their history classes are so bad that you actually have to ask THAT question.

Also, Jews aren't a race.

Well, in South Park the anti-semitism is expressed solely from the most vile character in the show and is opposed at every angle(except by stupid adults which is a common and relatable theme).

Watching a little fat kid pretend to be Hitler is hilarious when you know he's going to be unsuccessful. Especially when he's built off of the fucked up foundation that is Cartman.

Considering that one of the makers is Jewish, I would say the humor is more of a comment about antisemitism in society as a whole and opens people's eyes to what they may have been unaware of before.

There's a relevant thread near the top of reddit right now that's very relevant.

https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/hgh1k8/til_the_tourette_association_of_america_initially/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

South Park is crude, and uses a lot of offensive humor, but is rarely actually offensive because it tends to leav towards very reasonable takes, and in some case can have a very mature, adult take thay more than justifies its failings.

Oh, Im well aware of that. I was in high school when the show first aired. Suddenly, it became hilarious for everyone to make Jew jokes. The more abhorrent the better. It certainly opened their eyes to it, but they did not seem to understand any intended social commentary.

-Because South park has a lot of fans and clout

-Because it always tries to be outrageous. It has a reputation for it, so nobody is surprised when it does something offensive. People expect it.

That said, South park isn't invincible--there are definitely things it could say that would get it in hot water.
