It's not indifference, it's understanding how to make an accurate comparison. As stated, I can understand how it is offensive. In similar circumstances I wouldn't be happy myself. However, that doesn't mean I make baseless comparisons in an attempt to prove my point. Be as outraged as you want, but don't argue on blind rhetoric alone, argue on logic.
