Yeah, but at least he wasn't outright yelling slurs at them. The "rodents" comment came with "No offense to any rodents in the room," so it comes out as a "Take this whatever way you will" kind of comment where some could find it offensive while others could find it as a simple way to say "No offense to any rodent type faunus in the room."

To be honest, one thing about smooth-talking people and having a silver tongue is that saying things in a way that can be ambiguous really helps a lot, especially if you say it with a positive tone. If you do it right, people can never really be quite sure if you're lying or telling the truth, or if you're insulting them or they're taking an innocent sentence the wrong way.
