It was maybe your dream job but it was a shitty company. So it may be for the better.
You went too fast. You have to judge the vibe first. Don't go assuming you have the same sense of humor as everyone else until you get to know them because it can backfire, as you well know. Your joke may have been harmless, but it's your employers who then have to decide if you fit in with their business. In this case you didn't, so take the L and be happy that you managed to find work and a paycheck in a fluctuating economy.
You should have done a risqué/benefi-tay analysis before you opened your mouth.
By "risqué" did you mean "racist"?

At work it's always best to keep away from anything sexual, political, religious any of those topics are like minefields
