You know your kids better than I do, but I also know kids aren't perfect judges of character or intent. They can make rash judgments just as easily, even more easily, than adults. Of course, I can only go by the words you reported and have no way of hearing tone, body language, etc.
My only point is this, one can easily find offense in virtually anything someone says if he is looking for it.

Agreed. But people also do reveal their low-expectations and kids often smell it from a mile. I didn't happen to think this one was a hard call and I wasn't looking to be offended by anything - it kind of smacked me in the face when I was tired and ready to drive home. Apparently my captain was smacked too.
