I've been through similar circumstances and agree that being white, or passing as white, has benefits. I've also had the opposite situation occur. A cop who arrested me "lost the paperwork " on a weekend, so I stayed on a concrete floor at central booking (not up in the dorms/ pods where there are beds and some privacy re: toilets) for 3 days in a "single cell" with a dozen other women. Most of them would leave after receiving their papers, but another biracial girl and myself were stuck from Thursday afternoon until early Sunday morning. I never got a phone call until Saturday and the only food was a bologna sandwich i.e. a green tinted piece of meat on white bread. I used the bread to pad my hip bones, bc the concrete was so uncomfortable. It actually got worse before it got better (female monthly time and having to beg a detective who I knew, to pull strings for me). The attitude from the COs was far worse for me, which is why I was denied a phone call. Holding anyone sans any charges for more than 24 hours is illegal, and so is the phone call prevention. They let me loose in a crime riddled area at 3:30 am, knowing that quite a few ladies had been attacked by predators awaiting women being released in the pre-dawn hours. That too is against the rules, but for a white looking girl, it didn't matter. They wanted to punish me, in case the judge didn't do it properly. Baltimore police and COs are almost all crooked and are criminals themselves.
