What's racist about it?  Here in NYC with all the ethnic groups, we like
to have good-natured fun with ethnic jokes.  I'm Irish, so I get
drinking and other jokes tossed my way from time to time.  Most of us
try to avoid actual racial jokes (black, white, Oriental, American
Indian).

I don't get drunk and disorderly in public, though, and blow groceries
in a crowded subway station.  I get drunk privately or in a party.
