The other misconception people have here is that only black people can be offended at racism. This case, if taken as presented, would not offend me as the intention is friendly and therefore there is no hate or malice intended. Actual racism, where the comment is borne out of ignorance, hate and spite would offend me regardless of the fact that the ethnicity of the target differed from mine.

We also don't know if the person who made the complaint was aware of the context.
We also don't know any other facts regarding the case.
