It's "illegal" for a police officer to ask you whether your driver's license is real?
While it might be a little bit degrading, welcome to real life where police officers, you know, are not at all the nicest thing in the world, and can piss people off and expect to be rewarded with respect.
And I don't see what's "racist" about it either unless there's a stereotype about Asians faking their driver's licenses or being bad drivers, which I personally have never heard of.
....sis, that's a fairly common stereotype used to mock Asian people. at least in America.

asians being bad drivers have been the quintessential stereotypical driver's joke since forever
Neither illegal nor racist. Some cops are ass holes. Let it go and move on. This self-victimizing will only drag you down.
This. Don't mean it in a rude way bc you're okay, OP. Some officers can just be petty and like to cause trouble because of their balance of power in comparison to yours... it's good you said yeah and moved on.
