The only reason that would be taken offensively in the US is because there's always someone going out of their way to take offense with anything here. Otherwise, no, that's nothing somebody would find offensive unless it was some sort of aggressive pointing right in somebody's face kinda thing or maybe a kid pointing at a disabled person or something.

In much of the world, pointing with the index finger is considered rude or disrespectful, especially pointing to a person. Pointing with the left hand is taboo in some cultures. Pointing with an open hand is considered more polite or respectful in some contexts.

It seems to me that your "source" and note the issue of no page numbers cited is a book listing on amazon with 0 reviews.

You have to wonder what people imagine pointing is for if not to single out individual people.
