if you find it offensive just smile sweetly (but make sure they can tell you are anoyyed!) if you dont find it offensive, say "none taken" thats the most polite way to say it in either scenarios, but if it really ticks you off, you should use the first one!

He may have some feelings of insecurity going with a younger person, so that comment would have bummed him out big time. I don't think you were being insensitive or him being up tight, it sounded like it was said without any thought, but wrapped in the moment of chatting and laughing. Do you know what I mean? I sometimes say some dumb as stuff and then realise I said something that was offensive, but had no intention to.

It depends. If a person is offended because of a what the person says in a different group or situation then someone should step in and voice with reason and not with anger.\n\nShalom

Treat them nicely...?\nSaying "sorry" doesn't do/mean anything if you don't prove it.

Smile, say that it was good of him to enlighten you with his/her/it's point of view, and that you'd get back once you'd figured the depth of the person's insights which that person was so good to share with you.\n\nThe next time the person tries to corner you, smile and rush off saying that you'd a broken garter or broken a heel or something like that.\n\nGuys will have to think of some reason or the other to fob off the person without bopping him, cause violence will feed to his frenzy and make him a martyr, at least in his own eyes.

I've found it best to just give them a long blank stare for a second or two and then politely excuse yourself from the conversation.  In this day and age there is no reason for anyone to think that a comment like that is appropriate in any setting.  Once you've excused yourself the person who said the comment should fully understand that you did not approve of their actions and that you will not be a part of it.

Offense takes place when someone FEELS offended. Whether someone "should" be offended is impossible to know. And deciding from a third-person perspective that someone else SHOULDN'T be offended is an exercise in futility.\n\nThat being said, from history and experience, it seems to be the case that the 'n-word' offends a great many people for a variety of different reasons. And reactions to it vary even for a single individual depending on context. If someone were to call me the n-word to my face, I'd probably giggle, since I'm a middle-aged white geezer. If the same person were to use the n-word in anger to an African-American friend, I'd be offended. If Eddie Murphy riffs on the n-word, I laugh. If a white person were to refer to Murphy with the n-word, I'd be offended. \n\nThe weird thing here is that my offense isn't confined to what affects me personally. We can take offense - and probably SHOULD - when we, precisely, are not the focus of racism, sexism, or prejudice. Being offended in that situation has to do with exercising the empathy and compassion that are absolutely essential to getting along in a difficult world.

Apologize the best way you can. I made a comment in an email to someone  and the comment offended them. It was unintentional so I explained and apologized.  Sincerity counts, otherwise forget it.That is the best you can do.

Okay, I'm from Australia and I lived in the USA for a while in 2003. I had to ask an American friend how the heck to respond correctly to this question too! My friend's advice was to say "Aww, not much, just ________" if you had something to say, or to reply with "Nuttin', sup wit'choo?" (meaning "Nothing, what's up with you?") if there was nothing going on... I hope that helps you!
