An entire group, not so much.
Let's swap the word 'fatties' for 'niggers'.
How does that scan?
I am not saying that a joke about skin colour (where it relies on the skin colour) cannot be funny, but a competition based on making black people useful would not go down well.
I am all for jokes about the failing of others, but not for considering the traits of others to be a joke.
It is not a particularly fine line either.

pendantchrist you talk utter nonsence...black people are born black, fat people become fat through greed, and in my opinion greed in any form is bad. How anyone could compare fatties to race is beyond me. Plus fat people are horrible to look at. Bleagh
