i’ll reply to the rest later but this jumped at me because i think you’re missing the point of what you’re arguing against. well at least in an american context.

first since you said harvard it reminded me of henry louis gates getting arrested in his house for “disorderly conduct” after being questioned for breaking into his own house, HAVING PROVEN ALREADY IT WAS HIS HOUSE. sure sure, he said some unpleasant things, but it was his first amendment right and he was not prosecuted because there was no case against him.

...later another cop called him a jungle monkey...

second, yes, money confers privilege, but in some circumstances race erases it

e.g., just quickly googled some terms and blam

i dont know who this hypothetical or actual daughter of a banker might be, or in what circumstances she would say but, but money is not everything

last, here an english journo explains how/why you might be missing the point:
