OP are you sure the guy wasn't just pissed because the joke was shit? I know I'd scowl simply because of how annoyingly dumb it is. I hate when people waste my time with bad jokes.

That's the only one I know.
And clearly I appreciate a play on words more than most people.
Don't worry not work safe, I liked your joke.
Yeah, I thought so too. A quick wiki tells me it is Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. Not really seeing the anti Mexican racism, or any racism in the joke.

The OP supports my conviction that some people have absolutely no idea what racism is. Make a joke about someone's appearance in non-racial terms? Racist. Criticize some aspect of Islamic ideology or practice? Racist. Tell a joke whose punchline is a Mexican name? Racist.

One thing I have learnt from neogaf is that everything is offensive. That joke was clearly offensive and racist. I hope you asked the bouncer to kick your racist friend out after you lectured him about racism.

Not even racist. It's a play on word/name.

Not racist, but drawing unwanted attention to a person (stranger?) 's race is generally considered rude unless you're friends.

Not racist at all, OP. That man is sensible as heck if he took offense to that simple joke.
I take offense to this.

How about this GAF?
I was born in another country but I am a US citizen(I'm half latino, half white), I live in the US now. My brother lives out of the country.
A month ago my brother came to visit, at the time at work we had some training, it was a what to do in case of a shooting in the building kind of thing. I had a guy tell me jokingly that I should bring my brother in and he can pretend to be the shooter.
Now just last week, the same guy asked me(jokingly again) if my brother and I do the kind of stuff that just happened in Boston.
I like this person, but this kind of jokes rubbed me the wrong way. What do you think?

This one only works when you say it aloud, but did you hear about the Spanish fireman?
I don't really think it's racist, it's just a play on words which isn't intended to be derogatory to anyone.
Now THIS is racist.
He had two sons, José and Hose B.
