Overreacting to a POC kid: racism or is it normal to yell at a kid biking?

I was biking in Rotterdam today, near Blijdorp, where there's a wide bike path, meaning people bike on both sides of the road. All of a sudden I saw a tall blond guy who quickly changed his lane and biked towards me, because there was a kid in front of him and he had to take over the boy. The kid was somewhere between 6 to 8, he was black and biking slowly, and maybe a bit diagonally (zigzag), but not much that I noticed it. The tall guy who took over him, turned around and pointed to him with his arm in a way to teach him a lesson and made angry expressions. I don't think I heard him saying something but it was rather growling angrily. I mean he could just took over the kid without all these gestures, what was that about?

My question is if the kid on the bike was a white blond kid, do you think he would have reacted in the same?

Is it racism, latent racism, or is it normal to react to kids biking not so perfect in such an angry mode?
