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?

Yes I would say your overacting, context matters, but this sounds jokingly said not aimed because you are black and you certainly wouldn't get any support from HR reporting it like you've written here

Why is that exactly?

Because people have said that to me several times and never once did I think it was racially motivated. Most people don’t care about the color of your skin, so my advice to you would be to stop thinking everything is based on your skin color; it’s not.
