While waiting to leave work, I spoke with a male manager. This was my first day. During the conversation, manager discussed his previous relationship and family, stating that they were racist and that he would take a woman of colour to a hotel but not bring her home to meet his family. He then asked about my dating life and age, which I did not disclose, and described me as attractive (or words to that effect). I am also a person of colour.
As I was leaving, he stood between me and the door and extended his arm. I believed he was offering a handshake, but he said he wanted a hug instead. During the hug, he deliberately tickled my waist for approximately 3 seconds. I felt uncomfortable and told him I was not ticklish because I wanted the tickling to stop and to avoid making the situation more awkward.
I then left and went home. I did not raise the matter immediately because I needed time to process what had happened and wanted to ensure I was not overreacting before making a complaint.
