American (individually and collectively) are easily offended. There are people that are offended by words (N-word). There are people offended by symbols (Confederate flag, Swastika, gang symbols). There are people offended by religion and those offended by people of different religions. There are even people offended because other people are offended (political correctness, race card). Even as a country, we are offended by what others do. An example is Condoleezza Rice statement: Russian asylum for Snowden is a "slap in the face" to U.S.
Are Americans overly sensitive and easily offended or is this a universal trait which happens in other countries just as often?

American's do not own a monopoly in being offended or easily offended.
Individually one would be hard pressed to offend me, not even with the n-word for I know only low class, uneducated, fearful and ignorant people use such a word to press buttons. Apologies, but that doesn't work on me.
One sure way to make me become "offended" is to insult all of my countrymen by generalizing them. It's rude and I am quite protective of them as a whole.
People are people no matter where they live, people can become offended by the simplest of things and others will take no heed to even things most might. It just depends on the individual.
Yes, Americunts invented the word "offended". They treat the offence as highly as any other sane country would treat a murder crime, to offend is worse than murder here.
If you offend your life as you know it is over, you must conform to the hyper feminized sensitive ways of the "American" culture. You are required to love and embrace every race and culture, even if it is painfully obvious that the said race/culture is known for hyper violence, rape, and aggression toward your race. And the fewer of you there are the more easy it is to get away with crime.
Bonus points if you're not even a native of this country. War veterans wait months in line for medical health, when Mr. El Beefcakeo Grande illegal immigrant from mexico can get free health care and citizenship with an anchor baby.
