Actually, when you get right down to it, it is not a reaction but a choice. One chooses to be offended or not.
Just as if one is spat on one can choose to get angry about it or one can choose to laugh it off.
Most people would rather be at the mercy of of their "uncontrollable" impulses though as that makes life so much easier to live.
