+1. AA here that has posted. My family has faced many of those disparities. Just because I can afford 40k tuition, doesn’t mean the cops haven’t pointed a gun at me during a traffic stop because my windows were tinted too dark, or I didn’t get pain medication during trips to the ER because they thought I was drug seeking and could handle the pain when it was actually appendicitis. Those are just examples off the top of my head.[/quote]

If a cop stops a car with dark tinted windows, I'm sure his/her hand is going to be on their gun regardless of the color of the occupant. A cop is bound to be more alert in a situation where he/she cannot physically see the occupant(s) of a vehicle they have stopped. I know it's not popular to do so right now, but try and see the situation from the cop's point of view. A traffic stop can be (and has been) deadly. If you were cooperative and put your hands on your wheel (like we are all taught to do, regardless of race), there should be no issue, even with dark tinted windows.

As for the hospital, I'm sure they didn't withhold pain medication once a diagnosis was complete. They wouldn't hand out pain medication to a white person who showed up at the ER asking for it either.

This is my issue with DEI. It reduces every interaction to one of racism and discrimination. They are many reasons for what happens during an interaction and it is usually not about race, certainly not in Montgomery County.[/quote]
