Am I wrong to be offended?

I met a friend a few days ago I used to be very close with, havnt seen him in around 3 years. He has a female friend who I was enthusiastic to meet. He then said to me "he doesn't know how she is around Black/Asian people". I thought nothing of it initially, until today. Am I wrong to be offended? Shouldn't he know his friends attitude? Besides the point really, it shouldn't have even been said.

or:First, it is not \"be\" offended. You have to \"take\" offense. If you let it go by then it has no effect.He was trying to be helpful by conveying information that you might have wanted to know. After all, some people are prejudiced and you would want to know about that before you say certain things to them. Just for one example that I happen to know of, if you go to Germany you can be jailed for waving your hand a certain way. You would want to know that if you go there, right? It is not a matter of taking offense because somebody is telling you how to act. It is a matter of avoiding difficulties.
