That's Sarah Silverman, of course. People in Seattle have all sorts of different responses to her and her show. Some think Sarah is very adept (like Ali G) at exposing America's racial prejudices in inspired ways. Other people think she plays on old racial cliches that aren't relevant anymore, while still others are really super uncomfortable with her jokes, won't tell you why, and just want you to stop talking about her already because her very name makes them upset.
Is everyone processing Sarah's shtick the same way? Of course not. Are some people laughing at her jokes because they're actually racist and they think she is as well? Probably. Should Sarah worry about these people? Of course not.
