It is offensive and stupid to use.

I'm offended that you used the word "stupid." That is a very offensive and stupid word to use.

Some day maybe we won't all jump at the chance to be "offended." For now, though being "offended" carries WAY too much power!

Saying that his actions were stupid is not even remotely similar to using a racial slur (not the equivalent of some other slurs, but a racial slur nonetheless). And I don't care if you are offended by my use of the word "stupid." The nice thing about this forum is I can offend people without repercussions here. In the world of broadcasting, there are repercussions for pissing off major segments of the listening audience with the use of stupid slurs.
