This exact critique is used against single-level (standard) cultural relativism. My analysis is agnostic between objective morality and single-level cultural relativism. It doesn't cover multi-level cultural relativism.
That said, it handles this case fairly well. If someone wants to argue that something is family-level offensive or country-level offensive, they can't just equate this with being individual-level offensive.
Echoing VoiceOfRa, none of my analysis is contingent on people agreeing which offenses are normative. If you disagree, I'd love to know which part depends on this assumption.
Except most people claiming offense are capable of finding or defining some group in whose name to claim offense.
