If...the boys from that minority group didn't find it offensive, what's the problem? Mutual taking-the-piss can work as well as, or sometimes better, than mutual extreme-politeness. Courtesy is always preferred, but having the license to poke each other can mean you don't end up in an emperor's-new-clothes situation. If the minority lads were comfortable enough in their own skin to take shit and not let it affect them, that's hardly a bad thing, is it?
