Make sense of the following by explaining it to yourself.
If you hear a name called and it is not your name, do you respond?
If you hear someone calling out a derogatory comment, not necessarily at/to you, do you respond?
If you think you would respond (be offended), that indicates that you think/thought it applies to you.
Logically, when a person is offended it is probably because the comment was perceived as a correct point. Thus, logically it cannot be offensive because your reaction is acknowledgment that it is an accurate point.

What I am quite but not completely sure of is that I would support not preventing anyone from not doing what they do not want to do. However, in some situations I would not recommend such behavior.
