Unfortunately racism is still a pervasive force in society. And if a person has a bit of paranoia to begin with (and people of all races do, which is, I think what octopusprime was saying), it isn't at all surprising that the paranoia would come to settle around something that really is real in only too many circumstances.
There's not much you can do about it other than to make sure you don't feed it. If she's run into racism often enough to be certain it's coming from everywhere, she's not going to stop no matter what you do.
I am a bit concerned for her clients though.
