I agree, people do seem to be more and more easily offended by remarks. On the other hand saying something in jest is neither here nor there. There are a lot of things I could say in jest to some of my colleagues that others would find extremely offensive. It doesn't matter whether they don't know the background. It is my responsibility to make sure I make such remarks in a suitable environment and sometimes that means not in work.
