And I would just like to say: yes, if you are offended, your feelings are valid. Whether people respect them or not is a different story. You're not entitled to respect for your feelings, but on the other hand, you're also not entitled to be a dick about people's feelings and claim you're just being rational and logical.
When you mock people for being offended and emotional, you are also being emotional: you're feeling very, very smug.
I also find it rather... interesting... that this comic reframes Dr Pulaski as the offended party, rather than Data, as it was in the original. I do sure wonder if there's anything about Dr Pulaski that a certain segment of the population would identify as emotional and irrational.
well put on all points. Was trying to recall when Pulaski was anything but super-doc professional.

The other party in the discussion is a robot
He is an android with a positronic network, that has displayed on numerous occasions the capacity to feel. The linked video is one example.
staying calm and being rational doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being smug.
I know.
Flatly stating the facts is not smugness.
I know! I specifically mentioned "mocking".
Tis but a meme.
This changes nothing. I could write a post and say it's "but a post". Write a book and say it's "but a book". Make a film and say "tis but a film". In fact, a meme is the perfect hiding place for any ideology. It is the carrier pigeon of thought. That is, in short, the purpose of memes.
tis a poorly crafted shite meme.
In the actual scene they're coming to an understanding about his name.
