Okay, so I’m afraid I’m still having trouble connecting the dots here. How does society’s general dependence upon cars lead to the police releasing the driver despite having killed two people? History has long shown that would be much less likely to happen for someone who’s not Caucasian, and - while I can see “carbrain” being a contributor to how the situation has been handled - I highly doubt it’s the overriding factor as you seem to suggest.
The claim “because white” holds true too often, but barely ever in carbrain situations.
Wdit: it really does, though it’s difficult to cough up numbers. If you look at headlines about accidents (you can bicker and argue about that word but I’ll leave it as is), these almost always talk about an incident between a victim and the car, the driver is almost never a part of it in the story.

I can’t help but think your argument is based upon the “you always find what you’re looking for” fallacy.
