Yesterday I was with a friend in a shop and she noticed that a product her husband buys was about 30% cheaper than where he normally buys it.
"He can come here from now on, he normally goes to the Paki round the corner"
I was speechless. My friend is a very intelligent woman and I didn't expect that to come from her mouth. I told her so. I'm not going to hold it against her -- I know she does not and would not treat anyone differently because of their race.
So knowing that she wasn't intentionally being racist, should I have just laughed it off, or ignored it? What would you have done?

AIBU?
Was I wrong to challenge her over this casual racism?
