One of my managers sent me this text asking for me to cover, realized she was talking to the wrong person

Sorry for any formatting mistakes or other issues, this is my first post. For context, I work at a grocery store for a smallish company in a rural state. I'm also an ethnic minority with a middle eastern name. I've been there for a bit over a year now, and I noticed that most of upper management started treating me differently out of the blue a few months after I was hired, making me follow the rules to a T, but not for others they like. Anyways, I was sitting at a blood plasma donation center and I decided to look at my phone while waiting to get my vitals checked before getting hooked up to the plasmapheresis machine, when I noticed my manager texted me earlier asking if I can come in. Seeing that I'm already at the center and checked in, I declined. My manager's shitty attitude really…

My manager's shitty attitude really ticked me off, so I canceled my appointment and booked it home to report them to HR because up until this point I was pretty sure most of upper management was discriminating against me and here was the proof I needed (I've been unofficially demoted from supervising w/o any notice or discussion since January, but I didn't really care since I still kept my pay, so on them for overpaying a cashier). I vented to my roommate for a while then I saw my manager's reply saying those texts weren't meant for me and it was all a misunderstanding on their part. I felt relieved, but I'm still pissed that my manager would talk to someone like that, basically bullying people.

Honestly, I don't trust HR to do anything about it, the manager's been working there since the 70's, and I don't want another target on my back, and I don't really want to go through hell searching for a new job right before the start of my last year in college.
