To be fair, this is sort of a mixture of white privilege and changing times as well. I have a much less cool version of a situation where I was pulled over a few years back by state highway patrol at night. Apparently after I had stopped for gas I forgot to flick my lights on and was driving with them off. I didn’t notice because the highway section I was on had lots of lights along it and I have pretty good vision. The officer asked me if I knew I was driving with my lights off, and I told him, “my friends call me hawkeye”. I’m 30-something white guy, I can easily imagine not feeling comfortable trying that stupid joke if I was anyone else.
