It's a bomb. It's not funny, it's racist.

don't be so sensitive. It's making fun of a country/culture not a race of people.

There's a subtle difference.

Is it racist to say that Americans are fat? I didn't realize "American" was a race

The difference is one has no choice being born a specific race but a culture is a set of behaviors you develop as you grow up.

I don't see a problem with poking fun at the latter. Specially is it's as light hearted as this.
