But... that's the joke.
And Martin Lawrence didn't, the character he portrayed did.
I don't understand why people think it is offensive.
If the film would have been really racist as you are saying, Martin Lawrence character's actions wouldn't have been challenged all the time. His attitude is often shown as wrong and clearly in contradiction to the facts. To be truly racist, the movie would have needed to state that he was right the entire time and the others acting against him did wrong. But that was never the case! Lawrence's character even lost the respect of other black people, when his lie about the arrest was discovered.
No offense, but I do think you are a little too sensitive.
