Funny; reading your comment vs the one you're replying to it seems like you're much more offended.

  I am irritated, maybe even a little bit angry. Sad, disappointed, slightly defeated. Pensive. Introspective. Offended, not at all.

    Fair enough. Do you think the same could be said of the person you replied to and you assumed was offended?

      Nope.

      Maybe splitting hairs, but "esoteric" isn't exactly the same thing as "exotic", and it can be taken as a placeholder for other countries not mentioned, rather than describing the ones who were. If, let's say, Eritrea or Lesotho were called "esoteric" is that offensive? The word "exotic" has a lot of connotations to me that could suggest stereotypes, whereas esoteric seems to me more just describing ignorance.
