The joke wouldn't quite work if it was a white women whose family were travelling over from Ireland though would it. It's all about context, if he over stepped the imaginary banter line its a load of old nonsense. It's not a funny joke but if said in jest then that's what it is. If he said it aggressively as an abusive comment then yeah maybe she has a point. All the information given if that it's a unfunny ill advised joke. So her coming out in the press claiming racism is bang out of order and could risk this guys job. If she was still being picked i'd guess this wouldn't be an issue.

I see Geoffrey Boycott is in trouble for making some silly comment. In his case, I am quite happy to see his career finished on any sort of pretext - trumped up or not. We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]
