Is the art of sarcasm really that lost? Or is that some can't see beyond their own prejudices?

Throughout the novel Marlowe and Nulty will crack wise. When Marlowe asks when "the inquest on the nigger" is coming up, Nulty sneers, "Why bother?"
On another occasion Marlowe will say, "Well, all (Malloy) did was kill a Negro . . . I guess that's only a misdemeanor."
