Apparently absolutely no complaints have been received at all, yet this is still somehow newsworthy?

And is it really an offensive joke?

That's not racist.

To me, racism implies malice or judging someone based on their race. This was plainly neither!

No complaints received, however now they will be swamped with an avalanche of complaints from people that just like to whinge, and never caught the original broadcast.

Well, I'm glad the BBC thought this was more newsworthy than the savaging Winky got the other day.
