That may be true where you live, it certainly isn't elsewhere. Or at very least, it isn't the only factor at play. As a non-white, who is usually dressed smartly and frequently in a suit, in my experience, that seldom helps. I'm still stopped at almost every airport, border, or other "random" check. Whilst I won't assert that there's necessarily bigotry at work, there's certainly a selection bias. To use your example, a non-white guy dressed as a "hoodrat", amongst a majority white "hoodrat" population, will experience this. It's inevitable, the poster above who called it a majority privilege is right on the mark.
