Passive

Someone that lives in a dreamlike state.

If you want to say the guy is short dicked that's one thing. If he's Asian or Irish, that's more of an observation than an insult. But saying somebody is passive and soft and making it a combination of three words instead of one or two to get somebody's attention isn't something everybody gets a free pass to do, so hopefully you're not passive or soft yourself if you're saying something like that of somebody else.

"Wow, so passive-aggressive."

Passive Offensive

An unintended action or behavior that ends up being offensive or controversial to others. This typically occurs when someone is unaware of the cultural or social implications of their actions, leading to misunderstandings and potential discomfort for others. It is not deliberate, but it still can have a significant impact on relationships and social dynamics.

Hey, did you see Jake's new hairstyle? He let his hair get all tangled and messy, and now it looks like dreadlocks. I don't think he meant to offend anyone, but some people are taking it as cultural appropriation. It's totally a passive offensive situation.
