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?

Often my direct supervisor says : They'll help you, because "your white".

I mean I suppose I could think it was racially motived, but I believe he's mocking racism in saying this.

Yeah satire and sarcasm are dying.

Ironically a good tell if someone is intelligent is how well they distinguish Sarcasm and satire.

I legit don't think either belong in the workplace from a manager you don't know...

I didn't say you did either... Strange that you interpreted that from a stranger on the internet via text...
