One can't see how a cultured people with a rich history that they know of and are proud of can be so easily offended. If you treat your history so sacrosanct you probably have very little to be proud of. May be most of it is just false pride, either out of not much of a great history or simply an ignorance about it, which likely implies a terrible present. I would expect all this to correlate highly with an inability to digest satire and a tendency to get easily offended.
