A professor at my university said something so racist towards me for no reason that I’m shaking as I write this.

I study law here in the UK. One of my professors is a Chinese woman, I’m black. We’ve had a good relationship so far this year. I’m quite an engaged student during lectures and I’ve always been respectful when conversing with her. There’s just generally been no issues.<br><br>As like the title says, she said something very racist towards me. I’ve been waiting for my grades this week and yesterday I finally received one from her. I ran through the feedback and was not happy about it at all. I was sure I wrote a better essay than that, the criticisms were pretty harsh and the grade was quite low. So I emailed her describing my issue and asked if I could meet her to discuss the grade. I was polite and courteous in the message.<br><br>She replied to me today and said she would see me 30 minutes. I go and for the first 20 minutes she was explaining why my arguments were weak. It was a bit frustrating because she was being condescending and cutting me off but I understood her point.<br><br>Then I politely brought up another point saying “I don’t see how that relates to the essay. I was saying that -”. Then she interrupted and said “listen I’m busy, calm down” and started talking over me again. I said “excuse me I’m sorry but that’s a bit disrespectful don’t you think?” And she said “the audacity, you people always complain about grades but can’t be bothered to learn”.<br><br>I was shocked. I didn’t say anything and then asked “what did you mean by ‘you people’?” And she said “you know black people always complain and have a poor attitude”. I said “excuse me that’s so racist” then got up and left. I’m honestly so hurt and upset I’m literally shaking as I type this. I have no idea how to go about this.
