Humour is all about context.
As Spived2 points out, it was harmless fun when it was taken for personal amusement. Yes it was tasteless but a lot of humour is tasteless.
However, as others have pointed out this tasteless joke has now burst into a new context a context where the stakes are much higher and the humour is not funny.
He should be reprimanded.
