The problem is that they followed up. I have no problem with anyone being intentionally or unintentionally offensive. I have offended more than a few people in my life and have been annoyed from stuff other say way more than once and it evens. When you see you hurt someone unintentionally you apologize. It is not hard. And then you shut up. That's it. Don't try to wiggle your way out from the situation or save face. Don't spin it or use "PR". I used the word hurt intentionally. Because there is whole class of people whose job it to be professionally offended. And they are better ignored or teased.
