I don't think that's an "incident."
That's just a kid being curious about the world.
You might want to teach her that pointing out a person's particular characteristics in their presence is not always welcomed, but I wouldn't make a big deal about the "race" aspect of it, nor scold her for it.
IMO, an "incident" would be when there was some obvious act of overt racism that affected someone close to her, or occurred in her presence.
You'll have that opportunity soon enough -- no need to push it.
