1. The verse itself explicitly references BLM. Even the most politically ignorant would recognise that as explicitly political.
2. Everything is political. Text verses don't magically transcend politics somehow. The very idea of 'exceptions' is standard rhetoric deployed to shut-down criticism (often from the same people who talk about "fReEdOm Of SpEeCh!!11")
Check this which covers the idea of comedy, like art, being exceptional and immune to criticism:

3. All criticisms of a verse are political, implicitly or otherwise.
4. If a verse is explicitly anti-gay, anti-autistic etc. then being surprised that a response remarks on those exact things is pretty much saying "only responses which approve of everything that has been said are acceptable". That doesn't sound like a space where opinions are shared, that sounds like a dull echo-chamber.
5. Yes. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
