I have no issues with anyone (public included) feeling offended or not liking the joke.
What I don't like is BB giving her a warning over it, if Sarah wants to make controversial comments then let her.
I used to think this when Rex complained to BB over Alexandra's "Pow! Pow!" comment during BB9.
It's meant to be a social experiment, not a sanitized Disney production.
