Also, this has more to do with privilege than race. Gates apparently yelled “You have no idea who you’re dealing with!”, which is exactly the kind of thing a privileged member of the elite yells at a lowly beat cop who makes the mistake of not kowtowing to the person in authority.

Other than the fact Gates was yelling racism it was about privilege.
