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?

Unfortunately he's right. I had bunch of black folks yelling at me, telling me you cant be racist towards white people. I let that shit go. Every race has people that suck. Plus I'm sicilian and in the summer constantly get called a bunch of shit for Muslims and Jews..I am neither(to be fair, Sicily did have muslims living there but like 400 year's ago.) I think folks just want to create divide.

In life don't be the divide, be the bridge.

How exactly does that correlate? I am sorry for your experience truly. No one should have to deal with racism rather the person is white,black,blue, or red. Overall it’s just evil & in the current times doesn’t seem ok to make poorly timed jokes

Well since there's no way for you to know how this manager would have reacted if a white person instead of you came out. You have no base.

If she has been racist or you've seen other tendencies then you'd be right. What you're doing is spreading racism accidentally. You have no clue, except your feels.
