Blake's reaction says the writers intended for Caroline to be looking at and referring to her, not Yang. Yang's reaction paired with Blake's seems to say that Yang is offended that Caroline would refer to her friend that way.

I really don't believe that Yang would get all indignant and glare at someone for judging her for what she did to Mercury. To me, she knows that what she did was bad and looked bad, regardless of the fact that she was tricked. She knows that everyone else saw her shoot someone without Aura just for standing near her, so I don't think she would act all shocked and offended from someone bringing that up. To be fair, just because they react as if she were talking about Blake doesn't mean she is talking about Blake. Maybe they just all assumed she was talking about Blake or was talking about Blake merely because she is a Faunus. If she is familiar with the White Fang's history and heard of Blake through either the Vytal Festival or possibly learned about the Mistral attack, then she might realize she was affiliated with the White Fang. Unless someone says something, we won't know for sure exactly what her attitude is until there is more screen-time with her.
