It really doesn't matter at this point. Even if we don't actually know what they were talking about, we found it offensive and problematic. So when someone tells you "this is offensive" "this is racist" you need to step back and accept the criticism. You (a general you, not you specifically) need to step back, think about how that could be percieved wrong and apologize. This is not an easy thing to do, I know from experience, but it's the right thing to do.

The burden is on Frank to make it right and to contemplate the implications of what he said or his friend said.
