Made a complaint of racism at work

As the above, I've made a complaint of racism in my workplace.
I dont know why but I now have conflicting feelings in my head about whether I did the right thing even though I know I did.

I have witnessed and heard behaviour that makes me uncomfortable and I think is racist, I have called it out at the time but it is played down. I've brought it to my managers attention before and it wasn't dealt with so I have now complained higher up. I've received a reply and have been assured it will be taken seriously and have an initial phone call scheduled to discuss further.

I feel conflicted in that I work well with these people, can have a cup of tea and a joke with them but inside I know they are racist and I hate them for it.

I know that this will cause waves but I know that this behaviour must be challenged.
I'm not worried in that I have made the right decision but selfishly am worried how this may play out in the work atmosphere.
Has anyone made a complaint like this?

The OP is fully correct to report this, and scaremongering regarding her job security is awful.
Thank you OP. You have done the right thing.
This article is a good one
