That's not such a horrible, unforgivable thing to say. Silly, stereotyping, insensitive, yes. If she made a habit of it, that would be different.

I just hate to see people so fearful of talking to people of different races and having to walk on eggshells. Let's offer a little grace when we can and give this woman a chance to redeem herself. God knows I've said the wrong thing and I know how much it hurts to have people accuse you of something you had no intention of doing. We've got much bigger dragons to slay.
