I've always considered "I find that offensive" to mean "I think what you said means you're a dickhead and I want you to know that". That's why I'm offended by people who say "Hitler did nothing wrong" un-ironically but not offended by people who say "Hitler did nothing wrong" as a joke.

"I find that offensive" seems to be a bit of a straw SJW. I'm sure some exist that make things all about themselves like that, but if someone said "black people are lazy criminal scum", I don't think the response would be "I find that offensive". I think the response would be "that's racist garbage, get out of here. Black people are just people". Point being, the response to an offensive statement generally consists of an argument explaining why it is harmful or factually incorrect.
