In today's world of political correctness and abuse of "rights," there are some groups that you'd be hard pressed to find anyone defending. Known as acceptable targets (at least on TV Tropes), these are groups of people who's ideas run so counter to the rest of society that despite their status as people with rights, nobody cares about (and many often encourage) making fun of them. Groups like Nazis, PETA members, Scientology (and other cult) members, people who deny that there ARE any acceptable targets, etc.
So, what are your acceptable targets? Groups that you feel comfortable making jokes about without fear of backlash?
For me, one would be hipsters. It's a pretty common one, but I think it's totally justified. If you've ever used the word "sheep" to describe people in a completely serious way, I will mock you always and forever.
A less common one for me is Mac users. Not just someone who uses a Mac, that's just a preference. I mean people who tout Macs as the clearly superior choice in computers/phones/operating systems/whatever else they make. There's nothing wrong with preferring a Mac to a PC, but when you make it apparent in a conversation that you've basically drunk the Kool-aid of the Cult of Apple, I will mock you unapologetically.
