Depends on circumstances, places and people really. Some people make deliberate comments just to belittle others. Others are ignorant and/or naive. I would not mistake naivete for stereotyping.
If you are down south, people are more ignorant than racist in my observation and experience ( but then I myself could be generalizing just a bit too much here).
In any case, if I were in your situation, I would take the remark as compliment and give her the benefit of my doubts (if any).
