I also have found it useful to share what seems to be the true intent of the person, often asking for that if I am unsure (get their story), and reflect appreciation for that. I will acknowledge how I saw any positive aspect of the comment, if I authentically did, especially if it meets their intent. Then I will share how the comment may have been interpreted by someone unaware of the intent, and I will share the potential impact of that. Depending on the relationship, I may suggest they consider a different approach to achieve their aims and help them brainstorm. It helps when I can challenge my own stories about the person/event and remain empathic.
