There's nothing that can be said about culture that offends me because I have no culture. I'm a wealthy mutt atheist male who grew up in the suburbs. My parents were non-religious and non-cultural. I have nothing to relate to, therefore attacks on any culture do nothing more than glance off.
Now, if you get personal, that's different.
I can understand, though, when a member of a certain race or culture feels marginalized by a sweeping or inclusive or associative comment. Pride makes you stand up for your neighbors. Strike at a culture with pride and you hit all members.
