Someone must have taken exception to it because the comment was removed 9 the only one I have ever made that has been I think). I didn't consider it offensive, but someone did, and it's the same with most comments about race, gender, sexuality etc, one person's offence is another person's humour.
I don't see why it would be racist.
If he'd put on something pink and said they weat them to do the shopping in Brighton, would we claim it was sexually discriminatory?
People need to be cautious about seeing discrimination where it's not intended, because other people might suggest that the discrimination existed only in the head of the person who perceived it. Maybe wonder about that one English person whose mind said "racism" ... ! Where did that come from? Is that person's head so full of racism that they see it everywhere?
But, like craft, I don't actually get the joke.
