Another comment already reacted on that, but I want to bring it another example on how naive is the logic "being unbiased = reacting the same way when I swap element".
If I say "women should not be allowed in this meeting", this sentence will probably raise some alarm flags in the head of the person hearing it.

I personally don't think jokes about my nationality are racist: there is virtually no effective groups that have real hatred for my nationality and that create real actions against it. If such joke exists, it's unrealistic to think it will have any bad consequences. But I can understand why jokes about nationality usually faced with a lot of racism are better avoided.
