Insulting person or people, intentionally, for the purpose to insult them, is not condonable.
BUT.
Taking offense where only entertainment and jest are intended is also not condonable.
If 96% of the tountry is offended by a joke, that is 96% of the country's problem, and no one else's.
If they want to make it our problem, we should respond in kind.,
How do you deal with whining little children who are screaming for their toys?
You put them in their room and ignore them till they calm down.
Well let's leave them in their country alone and ignore them. they need to learn to ignore things that do not concern their physical well being.
Then again, so does everyone...
