I suppose it depends where you draw the line. As you know, I have total belief in the football team I support (almost to the point of it being a religion). As you can imagine, I come in for a fair amount of teasing at work over this, but I'd never dream of being offended by it.
I'd be the last person to use any racist or homophobic terms, but to my mind, that's not the same as jokingly referring to somebody as a "treehugger". Perhaps I'm wrong and my vegan mate is secretly seething with resentment!
