Re: BBC apologises after Mensa guest says anyone with an IQ of 60 is a ‘carrot’
What if I were to say "I've often found the word "dog" offensive to dogs. The proper term is "canine". "

"My mutt doesn't get offended when called a dog, as he's just a mutt so I get offended and complain on his behalf."

If a person of a 60 IQ doesn't get offended from a remark, I really don't see why anyone else should complain on their behalf, especially from a so-called "off-the-cuff" remark that wasn't intended to cause offense.

I think we have an awful lot of people in this country who just look for any excuse to get offended about something.
