The only privilege you earn is probably slipping "lick my a...a...a" without repercussions.
Slightly lucky with discriminating attitude in the west is East Asians (Orientals), as my experience in Australia suggests. We can get naughty with only mild reaction from the officers. You can even date with white boys/girls and almost no one bats an eye. The only objections probably came from their parents (most probably the Asian side). One South Asian guy got into argument with some stranger just because he is walking with his white girlfriend.
The Africans get worse treatment, even the well-behaving ones. But at certain place, they are put above Asians. E.g. there was a dark-skinned Dutch Moluccas who refused to hang out with people other than her white Europeans. She frowned on one Korean girl trying to join in their groupies. She refused to talk or greet non-whites... yes this is real. On the other hand, African tourists are always suspected as drug dealer or money launderer here. Even if they come from Kenya or Namibia or some rich African countries, which have better system than our own country.
Now, Middle Easterners. A lot of Arab teenagers are unruly, I know, because their parents are rich, which is the same problem with the Chinese "little kings". If their parents are not rich, they instantly become bogan and involved in petty crimes. I don't get it, but why make their own life harsh? This is also applies for Christian middle easterners. Why settle things with violence? One boy was stabbed through his bible over a fight about who got the girlfriend, and died. In another place like here, they are worshiped. Some even openly say that they are "one class" higher than the locals. So we have a lot of new weird mazhab (Islamic school of doctrine) coming from every "fresh" Arab imports. This is not helped at all by the fanatics who settle differences in religious doctrine interpretation with violence.
So in overall, being checked for ID, getting away with expired ones, and laments about potential racism with such profiling, aren't you being easily too political or enjoy too much first world comfort? When another attack happened, nobody should point out to Captain hindsight about what should have been done. Tough luck with profiling, even the police here might find it difficult to differentiate Sarah Palin and Tina Fey.
