Why it's Offensive / Is it Offensive

I have a question I feel is probably a stupid question I should already know the answer to regarding how and why something is perceived as offensive.

Anyway, rather than start a thread regarding just my question, I thought this might be a good place - the "Thinking Harder" place - to ask questions one feels stupid even asking.

What this thread is not:

A place to intentionally upset or offend people.
A place to ask questions with verifiable, factual, indisputible, objective answers available via google.
