Even for Jimmy this is a pretty offensive joke. But then it's Jimmy Carr. The whole show was purposely about "carer ending jokes" and came with a warning before hand you'd be subject to jokes about terrible things.

That said, mocking the Roma/Travellers etc in Europe is pretty much accepted and you are seen as weird for not demonising them. I don't think Jimmy was doing this, as seen in the clip posted above, he goes on to say that these are things the vast majority of people don't know, as it isn't taught. Now, you could say there are better ways to teach it, but he's a comedian so it's how he's going to do it.
