Thank you so much for noticing! I don't intend to paint Dex as being racist or as unaware of social issues, more that his anxiety and nerves get the better of him before he can even think of these sorts of things. Nursey (who I do headcannon as being very involved in political and social justice spaces) doesn't respond or really acknowledge what is said here because he is deeply uncomfortable and doesn't want to risk making it worse, but this tension will make a comeback later on, when they are slightly more at ease with each other and dialogue would be at all possible.
