Yes. File claim with EEOC through the Utah Antidiscrimination Department.
Re: discrimination
Frankly, you haven't given enough information to give a very definitive answer.
Are you a member of a protected class?
Do the jokes make a "hostile work environment?"-more of a judgment call, particularly if you are not a member of the class joked about.
Perhaps you can contact the Utah Labor Commission of more information about your particular circumstances. Here's the link to get you started:

Good luck!
