I think one of the most comically offensive things I've come across are the fundamentalist Muslims I've seen at amusement parks. You know, when it's 100 degrees out and the man is casually walking around in shorts, a tshirt and flip flops with what appears to be a black ghost in his wake watching a couple young kids...the man and kids having fun on rides while the ghost sits and waits.
