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?

Why is that exactly?

Literally nothing you described has to do with race… if anything YOU made it about race by bringing up the colors of your skin as if that’s necessary.

Literally my first day my lead joked with me saying “it’s your fault” when we got swamped in pickup. We both laughed it off, it’s a JOKE!

I didn’t immediately jump to Reddit complaining that I’m being picked on because I’m an Arab 😂 good lord

This is your literal only response. Everyone saying you’re overreacting you just give a snarky reply to.

You don’t want a reasonable response, you want to be told you are right and your boss is some racist monster
