How do you have a conversation about something like this?

advice

I have this “friend”, and she sent me a photo on Snapchat. She typed the N word in it. This isn’t the first time either. It is the first time she’s ever typed the full thing out. It’s like…does she not remember that I’m black? She didn’t call me the N word though, but it still makes me uncomfortable seeing it. She’s Native American btw which I feel like makes this whole thing worse.

“Friend” is in quotes because I don’t know how to describe our relationship. We met in middle school. We’re both pushing 30. We don’t talk as much as we used to since we aren’t in school anymore. We also went years without talking. I just have this odd attachment to her.

But yeah, I know I can’t control what she said but I feel like I would be a terrible person if I didn’t call her out on it. I know she hangs around other black people, and it makes me wonder whether or not she verbally says it to them or not. Idk.
