Is this a red flag?

So a few days back, I was talking to a friend of mine.

We were having some funny banter in which he crossed a line, which made me angry.

He made a sarcastic remark about my dad.

So, after a day or two, I opened up and told him that I didn't like what he said.

I am giving you five major points now.

1. First day, he said he is sorry but I should be ready to take jokes when we are joking.
2. Since I don't like such things as a joke even, I was not behaving naturally.
3. Cut to day number 5, he said, It's an unconditional apology and disconnected the call right after that. No chats no talks.
4. Later that day, he admitted, if I would have said anything like that for his father, he would have stopped talking to me.
5. On the same call, he said, I have not said anything which is such a big deal.

Am I just making a fuss about a small thing?

You are not making a fuss. Look at point 4 and 5. They are antithetical.

He's basically saying that he wouldn't accept the same joke made on his father but you need to have a thicker skin. Your tolerance for the joke should be higher even if his for the same joke is low.

Such double standards.
Thanks girl for making me feel better.
i absolutely hate when someone apologizes with a condition set by themselves like wth is "i am sorry, but-"
Exactly.
It doesn't sound like you're "making a fuss" over nothing. Your feelings are valid, and based on the way he said sorry says everything....
How dare he! And with that apology? You are absolutely right to feel that way.
Yessss! This is hypocrisy!
