How to use "Offended" in context?
People are often offended by things that do not affect them directly. For example, if your favourite band happens to change their sound and start playing pop music, you may be offended. However, this is not always the case. Some people are offended by things that are not supposed to bother them in the slightest. Tim Wise is a renowned anti-racist speaker, writer, and activist. In a recent TED talk, he describes an instance where he was walking down the street and a group of men in suits approached him. They were angry and shouting at him, simply because he was white.
