I lay no claim that all minorities will be offended, only that a minority population exists that will be offended. My personal preference is to just use the language you want. I'm of the generation that rejected the PC cultural influences developed by our aging parents.
My words are merely a caution against blindly following the numbers. The impact of "Merry Christmas" vs "Happy Holidays" may be innocuous, but you will inevitably face more impactful decisions where the best conversion may come at the price of marginalizing a minority unfairly.

There's always someone who will be offended, no matter what you do. (Example - some folks are offended by "Happy Holidays", and the reasons are not mutually consistent.) Some minorities are worth worrying about but others aren't, and they're not the same in every situation.
