[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all of the great feedback.

My daughter is naturally an introvert wall-flower type. She avoids confrontation, so addressing this in that moment would not have happened. She's 18, so I don't expect her to react as I would when faced with racist remarks. Indeed, this year has been a learning experience for her. She's now taking the attitude that she doesn't want to befriend white people because she thinks they secretively feel this way about her and I don't want that. I want her to have diversity in her friends, but this year seems to be having the opposite effect.

I will speak with her and really push for her to contact the Professor during office hours and express her concerns. I would greatly  prefer she address it in class, but I know that her personality won't allow it. I will ask that she consider  it, though. I agree that this is a learning  moment for her and I'd prefer that she resolve this on her own, but if she'd rather drop it, I may step in and email the Dean.
