I agree with all others -- if she is someone that is willing to be offended over someone calling her on racist "jokes" then she isn't a person you should want as a friend.
My advice - -I hope you consider this practice because you will have MANY years of advocating for your child ahead of you. Continual comments, questions (some polite, some rude) and inquisitions, rude comments etc etc etc. Racism exists almost everywhere and being the strongest advocate for your child is probably one of your main roles as a transracial adoptive parent.
