People of African descent are rarely found high up at google. When I worked there a decade ago, you wouldn't notice a black engineer roaming around for months on end. Not counting the chefs or the security staff of-course.

While you can blame America for the inequality, you can hardly blame the cops or society for the prejudice your friend experienced. How often would the cop stop a black engineer in a lexus who didn't turn out to be a carjacker?

Yes, you can. You can literally blame the cops. If they want to verify the ownership of the car, they can easily check the papers. It’s also about making the driver aware of the fact that they don’t think he could possibly be driving this car.
