That's your singular opinion. Wonderful ethics during a one-on-one conversation. And if someone wants to publish or post material for general public consumption, your sheltered naivety becomes irrelevant.
No, its more than just singular and applies in reverse too. One person finding something offensive doesn't make it offensive to all.
There is stuff that is generally considered offensive, but offence remains subjective and not absolute. Hence the turmoil that comedy is going through with people trying to cancel commedians for making joke that they find offensive but that many don't.

Offensive is in the ears of the receiver. If you are offended, that's your problem.Offensive jokes do not suddenly stop being offensive, irrespective of who tells them.
If someone goes out of their way to be offensive, they deserve a poke in the eye, simple.
I will not expect YOU to take account of all my potential sensibilities, because I'm not a jerk.
The corner shop joke obviously wasn't offensive the guy who told me. Judgement on what has the property of being too offensive, is subjective.
There are those who say that if any one person is offended, then that means it was, absolutely, offensive. Those people I would assess, in a calm and objective way, as being jerks who need to grow up.
Certain made-up screen characters fall into that category too. Junk the the planet would be better off without.

Your singular opinion has zero bearing on material put into the public domain. Its largely irrelevant.
I know that. I used my singular opinon to illustrate the point that you've missed.
'I'
'Me'
I'm pretty sure a pair of gammon Daily Wail readers, can happily natter away about that mornings news, without offending a soul.
Good on the two of you.
If one person does NOT find their actions offensive, then does, he really deserve a poke?
lower seems to think that his lone opinion matters,.
'I'
'ME'

Humour based on offence generally isn't funny.
It appeals to some, fair enough.

No, i don't. But you seem to have chosen to ignore that.
I'm just highlighting the pointlessness of your post.
The BBC reported that Muslim parents are withdrawing children from Music Lessons because their beliefs forbid them from learning music. The British Government has therefore issued a new list of songs that are acceptable to Muslims.

I've noticed your willingness to make fabricated accusations devoid of any rational logic.
Show us these documents.
If it's well documented it is really very easy to show the documents.
Well documented:
used to describe something that is known about or known to be true because there are many documents that describe it, prove it, etc.
You must know of these documents, where they are, what they say or prove.
Show them.
Who is they?
Orientals, British?
I know of some British who think it's fun to have a serious punch up and rioting about football.
