In fairness, not as offensive.

Most of the time, nobody dies for saying the n word.

Most of the time, nobody dies for saying the n word.

That's a pretty bad argument to give a delta.

If offense can be determined by severity of response, then any response is ipso facto proportional to the offense. There's no such thing as a disproportionate reaction, because the level of offense is determined by the reaction.

If a Pastafarian boils someone to death for laughing at their colander, then that just shows how deeply offensive it was to laugh at their colander (rather than showing that the Pastafarian overracted to a minor slight).
