Yep. "It's just a joke" is the way some people try to get away from having to acknowledge their comment was highly inappropriate, and push blame off onto someone else for "being offended."
The same kind of people "apologize" by saying "I'm sorry you were offended" which is doing the same - putting the fault on the person who heard the inappropriate comment, not the one who uttered it.
There's nothing here!
