There lies the crux of the argument. A minority will always take it as offensive and as such that part will never change. The fact that you were laughed at shows how "bonkers" it has become. Living up here has in someways given me an insite as to what its like to be a minority even if I am a caucasian British male. It took a long time to learn what was in jest and what was not with the result I can laugh it off.
