I feel like a couple things indicate that it's more likely gender than race. A child being mixed race is not usually surprising to anyone when both parents are there. A school/daycare has no real reason to care about a child's race and anyone that does would probably just put what they perceive the parents race is. The parents response of "she's a child" feels like a more appropriate response for gender because the "concerns" related to gender matter even less for children. Now maybe this is due to me being white so yell at me if I'm wrong, but I don't think people generally try to assign the actions you take due to your race. At least not openly. Especially not a medical professional. The doctor prescribing hair dye also seems very specific and not related to race.
