I notice how you state all of this as a matter of fact. You don't know if it is a racial thing, none of us really do unless we hear it from the person who said it - even then the person could lie.

You cannot know what any of this is like from the perspective of the OP. It would be nice if people would have empathy or say nothing at all. Years ago when my mother passed, if someone who had not experienced a similar loss would have came up to me and told me how I should feel they would either limp away or be carried away.
