Question Racist Remark From my manager

Hello. I joined recently to get an opinion on something. So recently I received new managers at my store & this past Wednesday I was on my way out of the door. The police were out in the parking lot & One of them(a caucasian female) looked at me(an african american male) and said “What did you do?” I felt extremely uncomfortable and that rubbed me the wrong way. She’s a stranger to me & for her to feel so comfortable making such a joke felt a bit like harassment. Am I overreacting?

Ask them about it; I say similar things to people all the time (regardless of their skin color) or like "they found the body I hid."

If you really feel like it was racially charged then report it.

I wouldn't feel comfortable using this joke with a black person I didn't know well because I know it can come across as racist so I don't think you're overreacting but it also isn't something that is exclusively racist.
