She was trying to imply that there's something stereotypical about all Indians, branding her a "poppadom" is pretty racist and demeaning if you ask me, and was clearly intended as such with her trying to isolate and distinguish Shilpa from herself because of her heritage

Huh? Obviously "poppadom" is not a religion or a race, but she was using it as a derogatory term against Indians, using something stereotypical of her country to mock her, and using it to distinguish herself from Shilpa purely because of their different cultures.

Yes, I think it's pretty obvious. If she seriously didnt know her surname and was genuinely guessing she would have used a genuine Indian surname; "Patel" or something like that (although that could still be considered offensive), she wouldn't say "Shilpa Poppadom" or "Shilpa Fuckawalla", where she is clearly mocking her and trying to be offensive.
And you say you wanted to know what she said that was racist, how about "go back to the slums"? You gonnas defend that eh Chuff? She should have been utterly ashamed the way she treated Shilpa, and if you can just shrug off and defend her racism, then you should get a grip.
