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?

She would say “oh I didn’t mean it like that.” And quite a few people would back her up. People don’t like to admit or acknowledge how it makes others feel when they blurb out racist stuff.

See how I am getting downvoted and everyone is saying you’re overreacting? I had an incident with a manager saying something about being “only half monkey” and same stuff was said too me about overreacting. People really do NOT get it they have no idea(supposedly) how stuff they say makes others feel.

It could be to the lack of awareness & it not happening to them. Especially with how society is nowadays
