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.

It is Carney-val show time. The Rings Master may be a skilled host, director and entertainer performing acrobatics. Bring into the Midway tent the rings of clowns, magicians, flying trapeze artists, plus all the elephants, lions and monkeys, and snakes that will perform for everyone's entertainment. Aside: snails are a performance measuring device not a food delicacy.
Enjoy the show.
