If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck it probably is a duck, even if you want to call it a dog. Was she joking, certainly. Is it still racist, yes. I personally don't think context matters. Something is racist or it is not. That joke is racist if told by David Duke or Harry Edwards. I find no argument compelling enough to make me think there is a grey area regarding racism.

But, that’s exactly the point. You and I can joke all we want, because neither of us are going feint outrage at what the other says. Hillary on the other hand is part of the group who encourages people to be outraged anytime they are “insulted.”

you saw there was no racial prejudice implied, only hoped for here.
Diminish would imply she had racist intent. Impossible, given the facts, that I could diminish something if it did not occur.
