Now, was it wrong by A to tell a joke about cancer, not knowing its relationship to B? No. Was it inappropriate? Maybe, but since s/he did not know about B's position, s/he should receive a pass.

What bothers me the most is that C comes across as very self-righteous and tells A why s/he is wrong even though s/he's not.

I think that A was definitely not in the wrong as deserves a pass at the start when he told the joke unknowingly.

But where I think that he goes wrong is when he refuses to apologize and admit what he said may have been inappropriate. He may not have been ill-intentioned to begin with, but he did make a mistake which was unknowingly to him inappropriate.
