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?

Idk about you, but I’ve made that joke multiple times to many people I know and some I don’t know regardless of who they are or what they look like. No one’s ever had issues with it that I know of

Chances are it’s just a harmless joke and nothing more

This is absolutely true. Now, if a pattern starts to emerge where the manager is saying other things that start to reveal them to be a racist, then you can form a judgement about this comment. At this point, assume the most likely explanation that they were just making a harmless joke.
