There's tons of stuff that I don't find offensive but I can see why it would be offensive to others. The Danish muslim cartoons didn't offend me; I can see how they'd be offensive to devout Muslims. The look of a woman's bare arms doesn't offend me; I can see how it would offend early devout Mormons who wore garments. In some limited situations, the burning of the American flag in protest doesn't offend me; I can see how that would be offensive to others. The list goes on and on. Exercise your imagination and empathy just a little, and you'll think of some too.
