    Oh, and a good number of people in the US seem to take pleasure in being offended by things. Even when something shouldn't be offensive to them, they will take it as a personal attack.

Too good a life? I don't hear people being offended much when they have shit to worry about, like not losing one's job or risk being evicted for not paying in time.

Have you tried explaining the situation to the HR personnel? Are they this dumb in reality? It's hard to believe.
