I politely contradicted her but didn’t get into it. But the comment is eating at me a bit. Am I overreacting to the last two years? I don’t think so.

Ugh, I'm sorry. I imagine the whole social justice commitment is an optics thing: "look how good we are!" Sort of like big corporations making headlines for donating money to charity when they're screwing over their hourly workers.
Sounds like she just doesn't get it. Is it worth the energy of trying to explain to her? That's something only you can know.
