That's called sinking down to a certain level.

Without spinning wildly off topic, I do think that a lot of prejudice is subjective, so what offends one person won't offend another, and the fact that we live in a democratic society means that eventually someone is going to say something that offends someone else.

Yes, and that's why the law (in Australia at least, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't similar elsewhere) doesn't define what actions are considered offensive; it's considered offensive if the victim was offended. Yes, it's all in the eye of the beholder, but that doesn't give you free rein to say and do whatever you like.

Well, I think that's the thing, it does give you free rein to say whatever you like however, there will be consequences afterwards...but then we solved all this in Burschenschaft so there's not too much point in devolving into that.
