Like someone wise said, it is the privilege of the offended to decide when something is offensive. I've been on both sides, and the sensible thing to do as an offender is to say "It was not my intention to offend, I'm sorry for offending you." and not do the offensive thing again ever. And that should be it. Not that it has ever played out as nicely as that, but it has been close a few times.
