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.
