I don't think the issue that anyone has is being identified with a demographic, be they "Boomer", "Gen-X", "Gen-y" like myself or "Millennial". The heart of why it is offensive is exactly what gets tacked on implicitly or explicitly like your "PC baby" comment. Some members of group "A" using a slight against the members of group "B" does not give some members of group "B" a free pass to reciprocate. Both slights are wrong. This is no different than the systemic waves of racism that have plagued US immigration for a half-dozen generations. What I find most depressing is that a generation so often connected with "woke-ness", "post-racial", and "post-gender" ideas in the end is no different than any other generation. Once their "other" is found they will apparently delight in poking at it with feigned ignorance of the offence they cause.
