If you wanted to simplify it, it's more in the person telling the joke than the person laughing at it.
It's also about who else is around to overhear. Eg " Irishmen telling an "Irish" joke to each other, and somebody else who is not Irish overhears, then that person is allowed to take "offence". Just a perverted mechanism for allowing the maximum number of people to make a bogus complaint.
