I don't think the joke is racist or sexist. The protagonists happen to be female, but the gender has nothing to do with the punchline (at least I don't think so). I have read the same joke with blond men and with clerks. You could take anyone - and that is what makes the joke in-offensive for anyone (IMO).
I find it more excluding and off-putting to be called racist/sexist /*publicly*/ for posting such a harmless joke. If you have any problem, you could come and talk to me personally first, before pointing fingers.
