As has been mentioned in umpteen discussions such as this, *we* don't get to decide what is or isn't offensive in someone else's eyes. If Native Americans find the term "redskins" as offensive as African Americans find the term "n****r," who are we to tell them they're wrong?

How can I decide who's offended by such things? It's up to the individual. And if enough individuals are offended, the offending party - regardless of their intent to offend - should take notice.

This leads back to the subject's OP's point

I hate it when people are over-sensitive. This whole deal about the Redskins having to change their name because it offends someone is pretty stupid IMO.

I don't know who is being offended, but I can easily tell when someone is being overly sensitive.

how can you easily tell something that is so subjective? are you equally good at telling when someone is being under-sensitive?

I just can. You can't be emotionally undersensitive to something.

how? and why not?

 
You can easily tell when someone is being oversensitive because you think of how you would react in the same situation. Problem is, you're not them, and you don't share the same sensitivity.
