Here's an example of my white male privilege.

[Ms. Toad]

23. And I'm usually driving a beater.

My car is a 2003 car. My spouse's and daughter's are a bit younger - but both are at least 10 years older.

I get stopped much more frequently than I used to because I'm frequently driving home at bar-closing time (2 AM). I am being profiled - but not based on race. I have discovered that (at least in my area) police officers are far more likely to stop cars at that time of day, expecting many of those on the road to be drunk. I was stopped 3 times in one week for erratic driving. It is possible I was tired and weaving within my lane the first time - but after the first time, and especially after the second time, I was paranoid and being extraordinary careful about driving in a straight line. And - I never get stopped any other time. I've literally had 2 tickets in 49 years of driving (and none of my "erratic driving" ever warranted a ticket - once they discovered I didn't smell like I had just rolled out of a bar).

And - in my case the question about car ownership is clearly triggered by an unexpected name on my driver's license - t is not based on a stereotypical assumption (based on no evidence) that I'm driving a car that I stole.
