I really like your post and it is making me think. But sometimes I don't feel like I am convincing enough to make the point "X is inherently offensive and oppressive", so when the other person says "that's not offensive" I say "well, it offended ME", so whether or not they believe it's wrong, good manners requires them to stop saying it around me, and that's a start.
