So i got pulled over for driving too fast on the freeway last month. I was fully cooperative with the officer (Asian male), who asked me some basic questions and then, surprisingly, let me go.
White privilege? Maybe. But perhaps it was a reapectful and cooperative attitude that convinced him that i wasn’t worth the paperwork to ticket. He didn’t seem happy with me, but he didn’t write me a ticket either. So what do you call that?

Occam's razor says that it was 99% the respectful and friendly attitude. 99% of the people don't give a shit about who you are as long as you have some manners. This dividing by race, gender, sex, etc. has become so stale and needs to stop pronto.

Thing is, that's an historical guarantee. Common in the 18th and 19th Century UK, California before the 1950s, etc. Mostly White People.
"New Yorkers, Come West, we're paying a five dollars a day."
"Haha, that was just one position, but I'll do you a favor, you can pick this lettuce for five cents an hour. After the entire season, you might have enough for one ticket back home."
One of the favorite reasons to enclose was "Saucy" laborers who could scratch by between their small holding and the Common. No Common = Dependence on the Farmer for wages.
That's how the US Coastie Elites feel today. "These uncouth Whites are too uppity with the wage demands, all this unionization and American Dream crap. Let's import more desperate Brown People who will take what I'll give 'em."
Skilled farmer populations that are white (supposedly, all of them) who rely on cheap migrant labor of the legal or illegal kind to keep those food prices down so the country can survive on the crap shit wages being paid by there employers.

You need diversity of opinions, not colors. Just hire for skills, and all else will work itself out. It puzzles me how smart people can still make stupid choices.

Microaggression/insensitivity. In Rio Grande Valley (South TX) many (most) farmers are Hispanic.

A lawsuit alleges the search giant set hiring quotas for some technical positions.
A former Google recruiter was fired from his job for objecting to a company practice of rejecting Asian and white male candidates for technical positions, according to a civil lawsuit filed against the internet giant.
Arne Wilberg, who worked at Google for nine years, alleges Google set quotas for hiring minorities, Bloomberg reported Thursday. The lawsuit, filed in January in California's San Mateo County Superior Court, claims he was fired by Google in retaliation for complaining to human resources about the company's hiring practices, the news agency reported.
The controversy comes as Silicon Valley companies grapple with how to increase workforce diversity in an industry dominated by white men and permeated with corporate cultures that seem biased against women and female engineers. Google, Facebook, Microsoft and other tech companies now regularly release diversity reports, highlighting low percentages of women and minority employees, with few moving up the management chain.
Google had "irrefutable policies, memorialized in writing and consistently implemented in practice, of systematically discriminating in favor job applicants who are Hispanic, African American, or female, and against Caucasian and Asian men," according to Wilberg's complaint.
