Yes. I’m a person of color that gets mistaken for hispanic, middle eastern, etc depending on location (I’m very mixed). I am also rich by most definitions (peasant by today’s standards). I made it a point to buy a brand new BMW i4 M50 EV and a used 2021 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG because I was getting harassed while driving my beloved Ford Fiesta. Since getting the nice cars, I have not been bothered once.
It’s bullshit, but I understand the “why”. Bothering someone wity money is a pain in the ass and detrimental to their career. They can fuck with poor people all day long without consequences.
