I fail to see how this is no longer rascist in your view. Clearly there is still a Spaniard and a Greek (mayor of the Spanish and Greek towns.... How many Americans, Canadians, French etc would be mayors in a Spanish or Greek town???) It is also insinuating that mayors are dishonest. Clearly someone would take offense!!
I however thought this was a good joke too. I have a sense of humor.
I also believe that how we react (ie get offended or not) is a choice. I choose to be offended, or I choose not to be offended. Therefore the blame should be on me if I get offended, not the joke teller! With 7 billion plus people, I am bound to offend someone with.... my political views, my religious views, my eating habits, my etiquette (or lack thereof), my sense of humor etc., etc.
