Should I have taken offense at this?

One of my daughter’s friends, Betsy, is from Puerto Rico. She works at a convenience store so I see her often, and sometimes I slip in comments about her being ‘Mexican’ cause it makes her ‘mad.’ :) She’s funny when she’s mad! Before anyone flips out, she doesn’t really get angry. It’s just a running joke between us.

I was in there the other day and we were talking about Corrie’s kids and how different they all are. Betsy asked what ethnicity Corrie’s dad is because she has that brown thing going on and I am all white. I told her he’s, like, 1/16th Indonesian (I actually have Indo genes too, from my Mom’s side. It’s very obvious in one of my sisters.)

Should we both be taking offense over the fact that race even comes UP in our conversations?
