Written up for intimidation

The company I work for had a dress up for Halloween theme. I am a middle aged black man and was offended by a white woman that dressed in tattered clothing while wearing black face. I told her so and went to an HR assistant to bring it to their attention. The black face lady was considerate enough to wash her face. Three days later I was called into the HR managers office and was informed that the black face lady felt intimidated by my comment. I was written up for intimidation, apparently it is less severe than harassment. I enjoy my job but am torn and not sure what to do.
