I was out with a friend. A stranger heard the way we talked with each other. The stranger became offended at some of the vulgar language we used and I found him a bit uneasy and uncomfortable; so I decided to tell him in English:
Don't worry, he and I have jokes together.
Connotation: we often joke with each other.
I was wondering if the bold part above sounds correct to you. If not, then what is the naturally idiomatic way to express this matter?

You might be looking for "it's an inside joke" which is used to express the idea that it's a "running" or "ongoing" joke between the two of you. Be aware that in the English-speaking realm, if you used racist language you'll be marked as racist, and that's that. Nobody cares if it was a joke, or, a private ongoing joke.

As a native English speaker, "don't worry, he and I have jokes together" does not necessarily seem grammatically incorrect, however it does not sound natural. It also does not convey the message that I think you are trying to say. It would be better to say something along the lines of:
- Don't worry, we always joke with each other like this.
- Don't worry, we have quite a brutal way of joking with each other.
- Don't worry, we have our own way of joking with each other.
- Don't worry, we both know we are just joking.
- Don't worry, we have some pretty harsh ways of joking / inside jokes.
Because to me 'we always have jokes with each other' seems like you are trying to say 'we always have a good time when we are together'.
Decent suggestions, although "quite a brutal way" sounds a bit stilted in this context.

As a native English speaker, "don't worry, he and I have jokes together" does not necessarily seem grammatically incorrect, however it does not sound natural. It also does not convey the message that I think you are trying to say. It would be better to say something along the lines of:
- Don't worry, we always joke with each other like this.
- Don't worry, we have quite a brutal way of joking with each other.
- Don't worry, we have our own way of joking with each other.
- Don't worry, we both know we are just joking.
- Don't worry, we have some pretty harsh ways of joking / inside jokes.
Because to me 'we always have jokes with each other' seems like you are trying to say 'we always have a good time when we are together'.
Decent suggestions, although "quite a brutal way" sounds a bit stilted in this context.

You might be looking for "it's an inside joke" which is used to express the idea that it's a "running" or "ongoing" joke between the two of you. Be aware that in the English-speaking realm, if you used racist language you'll be marked as racist, and that's that. Nobody cares if it was a joke, or, a private ongoing joke.

"I wonder which part of my written context sounds to be racist" So, regarding this sentence: "What fucking chocolate do you eat man?" >>>IF<<< the other person is of a particular cultural group, then the sentence would be interpreted as you, let us say, "joking about that culture", "ridiculing that culture". You have *already reported that the third person (presumably an American) was offended. You mentioned it was because of the "fuck" word.
