That’s a pathetically bad comparison. This distinction is key:

It isn’t serious or mean-spirited.

Bigots often makes “jokes” that are serious but hide under a thin veneer of humor, and those “jokes” are often discriminatory.

Some people might have trouble telling the difference. I don’t.

I don't think your joke was that bad, what I took issue with was your justification for it. I'm sick of hearing "it's just a joke, get over it". It's rarely used by good people.
