It's only offensive to the people who are offended. Theoretically all words are offensive since any word can be offensive to anyone just because they deem it so. Censoring (i.e. changing the language) of everything to appease everyone 1) isn't possible, 2) is foolish at best, 3) is a waste of everyone's time, and 4) creates a power hungry mob of zealots looking to dismantle any word they deem offensive (e.g. paper machete).
