@manas1997, by definition, your joke was not racist. HOWEVER the fact that some people did see your comment as racist just corroborates what I, and many others have said - you never know how people/the adcoms will interpret your joke!!! In America race is a sensitive topic. Especially in something as important as your college essay, it would have been wise to err on the side of caution.
